• Nervous tissue

What are the functions of epithelial tissue?

• Protection, absorption, secretion, sensation

• Transport, filtration, lubrication, support

• Contraction, movement, coordination, control

• Communication, integration, regulation, control

Which type of tissue holds other tissues together using a secreted matrix and provides support and protection?

What is the function of synovial fluid?

• Protection and lubrication of joints

• Transport of oxygen and nutrients

• Filtration of waste products

• Absorption of nutrients

Which fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord?

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• Synovial fluid

• Interstitial fluid

• Plasma fluid

What is the purpose of serous membranes in the body?

• To provide support and protection to bones inside of joints

• To secrete mucus for lubrication and to trap foreign particles

• To line tracts of the body that are open to the external environment

• To separate areas into cavities and reduce friction between organs and cavity walls

Which type of fluid helps regulate body temperature and lubricate body parts?

• Intracellular fluid

• Extracellular fluid

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• Lymph

What is the function of interstitial fluid?

• To surround and protect the brain and spinal cord

• To lubricate joints and organs

• To transport oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the cells within a tissue

• To provide support and protection to organs

Which type of membrane lines tracts of the body that are open to the external environment?

• Cutaneous membrane

• Synovial membrane

• Mucous membrane

• Serous membrane
