Basolateral

Many types of epithelial cells perform the function of

Support

Characteristics of epithelia include all of the following except

extracellular matrix

The junction type that lets neighboring cells exchange small molecules is the

gap junction

Functions of epithelia include all of the following except

supporting muscle cells

Epithelium is connected to underlying connective tissue by

a basement membrane

Which tissue lines the small intestine and the stomach?

simple columnar epithelium

In stratified epithelia adapted to resist mechanical forces, which of the following types of cell-to-cell junctions are especially abundant?

desmosomes

An epithelial cell can be divided into two functional regions. They are the ________ and the basal surface

apical

Which epithelium is responsible for protection, secretion, and absorption?

stratified cuboidal

A&P Chapter 4

Exfoliative cytology involves the removal of epithelial cells for examination. Which of the following is NOT a clinical application of exfoliative cytology?

examination of cardiac muscle cells after a heart attack

In exfoliative cytology, epithelial cells are removed and examined without any lasting damage to the tissue from which these cells are removed. Why is there usually NO lasting damage?

Epithelial tissue is capable of regeneration

Simple squamous epithelium is found

Lining blood vessels

The urinary bladder is lined by

transitional epithelium

Cells that are flat and thin are classified as

squamous

The two major types of cell layering in epithelia are

simple and stratified

The pancreas produces ________ secretions

exocrine and endocine

The epithelium that lines the body cavities is known as

mesothelium

Gland cells produce

secretions

Which cell is present in many connective tissues that can differentiate into different types of cell?

mesenchymal

Which white blood cell is important in removing foreign bacteria?

monocyte

A&P Chapter 4

A marked loss in strength and elasticity of connective tissue characterizes Marfan’s syndrome. Which connective tissue component imparts strength and elasticity?

proteinaceous connective tissue fibers

It has been shown that as a person ages, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases and becomes more disorganized. Of the choices below, which is the best explanation for why this happens?

Fibroblasts become less active as we age.

Blood is which type of tissue?

Connective

Cells that store fat are called

Adiopocytes

The three categories of connective tissues are

connective tissue proper, fluid connective tissue, and supporting connective tissue

The three types of protein fibers in connective tissue are

collagen, reticular, and elastic

Loose connective tissue functions in all of the following ways except

providing strong connections between muscles and bones.

Antibodies are produced by

Plasma cells

The three major subdivisions of extracellular fluid found in the body are plasma, interstitial fluid, and

Lymph

In areolar connective tissue, ________ cells release histamine

mast

A&P Chapter 4

TO celebrate her 50th birthday, Anna got her ear pierced in the elastic cartilage portion (pinna). The piercing specialist informed her that it will take at least 6 weeks to heal. This is because

cartilage is avascular, so healing takes longer

The most common type of cartilage is ________ cartilage.

Hyaline

Osseous tissue is also called

Bone

Antiangiogenesis factor is a chemical produced by ________ that blocks the growth of blood vessels

chondrocytes

The serous membrane covering the lungs is the

pleura

The serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity is the

peritoneum

The reduction of friction between the parietal and visceral surfaces of an internal cavity is the function of

serous membranes

The term transudate describes fluid associated with

serous membranes

The loose connective tissue component of a mucous membrane is called the

lamina propria

What are the different types of connective tissue?

Connective tissue can be divided into three main types: connective tissue proper, fluid connective tissue, and supporting connective tissue.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome specifically affects collagen fibers. What other types of fibers in addition to collagen are found in connective tissue?

Reticular and elastic fibers are also found in connective tissues.

A&P Chapter 4

Because connective tissue is found throughout the body, more than just Anne Marie’s joints and skin could be affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. What is fascia and where is it found?

Fasciae are layers of connective tissue that surround and support organs.

Deep fascia refers to the dense connective tissue that surrounds

a muscle

The type of muscle tissue that does not contain gap junctions is

skeletal

Myosatellite cells are found within __________ muscle.

skeletal

Which structure typically receives information from other neurons?

dendrite

Which of the following is NOT a property of neuroglia?

They conduct electrical impulses

Which of these carries information from the neural cell body to the next cell?

Axons

All of the following are true of neurons except that

they are a very specialized form of connective tissue.

________ support, protect, and nourish nerve cells

Neuroglia

Mast cells, in the process of stimulating an inflammatory response, secrete all EXCEPT which of the following?

interleukin-1

During an inflammatory response to injury, which of the following is the least likely in the region of the injury?

cold, pale skin

A&P Chapter 4

The permanent replacement of normal tissue by fibrous tissue is called

fibrosis.

The wall of the alveolus (air sac) in the lung is composed of which type of epithelium?

simple squamous epithelium

The proximal tubule of the nephron (kidney tubule) in the kidney is composed of which type of epithelium?

simple cuboidal epithelium

The epithelium of the esophagus is composed of which type of epithelial tissue?

stratified squamous epithelium

Skeletal

Which muscle cell type has visible striations but is not under voluntary control?

cardiac
