Intro to Tissues

Identify the 4 main types of tissues in the body.

• epithelial

• connective

• muscle

• nervous

• vascular

Which tissue functions in control?

• epithelial

• connective

• muscle

• nervous

• covering

In connective tissue, which type of cell repairs and maintains the matrix? It is considered the mature cell.

• osteocyte

• neuron

• simple squamous

• macrophage

Which tissue is the most abundant in the body?

• epithelial

• connective

• muscular

• nervous

In connective tissue, which type of cell secretes and forms the extracellular matrix?

Which tissue is described as, cells that cover a body surface, line body cavities, or secrete substances?

• epithelial

• stratum corneum

• connective

• muscular

• stratum basale

Which is a function of epithelial tissue?

• Support the weight of the body.

• Moves molecules throughout body.

• Immune function.

• Lines body cavities creating a barrier.

Which describes the extracellular matrix of tissues?

• non living part that separates the cells of the tissues. It supports the living cells.

• The specialized living cells of the tissues and the protein fibers.

• The fluid, cells, and fibers of the tissue.

• The avascular component of tissue that includes the living cells and collagen fibers.

Which of the following are epithelial cells? More than one answer...

• Simple squamous

• Stratified cuboidal

• Dense connective

• Reticular

What does it mean to exhibit polarity?

• The tissue has a free apical surface and an attached basal surface.

• Very little extracellular space between the cells.

• Nourished by the underlying connective tissue

• It insulates as well as binds tissues together.
