Exam 9: Tissue Types

Mammary glands are endocrine glands that produce milk.

Being able to readily diffuse material through itself, such as occurs in alveoli, is a characteristic of which type of epithelial tissue?

Glands that have no ducts but release their products directly into tissue fluid and blood are called:

Bone-destroying cells are called osteoblasts.

The cell that has the opposite function of the osteoblast is the:

An axon is an important part of which kind of tissue?

Compound exocrine glands have one duct and secrete two or more products.

Which of the following would be identified as skin covering?

Cancellous tissue is an example of which type of connective tissue?

In a neuron, axons carry impulses toward the cell body and dendrites carry impulses away from the cell body.

Match each category of epithelial cell with its corresponding definition. -Multiple layers of cells with flat cells at the outer surface

The type of tissue that contains cells called neurons is called:

Simple cuboidal epithelium is one cell layer thick; stratified cuboidal epithelium is more than one layer thick.

Transitional epithelium is unique in that it is composed of differing cell shapes in a stratified, or layered, epithelial sheet.

Epithelial cells can be classified according to shape. Which is not a characteristic shape of epithelial cells?

Cilia are found on which type of cell in the lining of the respiratory tract?

The most prevalent type of cartilage is:

Smooth muscle fibers tend to be longer, but weaker, than striated muscle fibers.

Oil-producing glands that self-destruct in order to function are referred to as holocrine glands.

The osteon is the basic structural unit of compact bone.
