2) Left upper quadrant
3) Right lower Quadrant
4) Left lower quadrant
Structure of the Generalized Cell - ANSWER -Cell membrane,
cytoplasm, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, golgi body,
mitochondrion, lysosome. For picture refer to page 66.
Epithelial Tissue (Simple squamous) - ANSWER -Description: Single
layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse
cytoplasm. Simplest of the epithelia.
Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration.
Secretes lubricating substances in serosae -Forms walls of air sacs of the lungs and lines blood vessels -It
contributes to
Nervous Tissue Characteristics - ANSWER -Description: Neurons are
branching cells cell processes that might be quite long extend from the
nucleus-containing cell body. Also contributing to nervous tissue are
non irritable supporting cells.
Function: Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to
effectors (muscles and glands) which control their activity.
Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Skeletal Muscle Tissue - ANSWER -Description: long, cylindrical,
multinucleate cells; obvious striations
Function: voluntary movement; locomotion, manipulate of the
, environment; facial expression; voluntary control
Location: in skeletal muscles, attached to bones or occasionally to the
skin
Cardiac Muscle Tissue - ANSWER -Description: branching, striated,
generally uninucleate cells that interdigetiate at specialized junctions
Function: as it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation;
involuntary control
Location: walls of the heart
Smooth Muscle Tissue - ANSWER -Description: Spindle-shaped cells
with a central nuclei ; no striations; cells arranged closely to form sheets
Function: propels substances or objects along internal passage ways;
involuntary control
Location: mostly in walls of hollow organs
Cutaneous Membrane - ANSWER -skin, organ system consisting of a
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium firmly attached to a thick
layer of dense irregular connective tissue
Mucous Membranes - ANSWER -lines body cavities that open to the
exterior, such as those of hollow organs of the digestive, respiratory, and
urogenital tracts (they are usually wet or moist)
Serous Membranes - ANSWER -moist membranes found in closed
ventral body cavities. consists of simple squamous epithelium resting on
a thin layer of loose connective areolar tissue
Analyze the changes that occur in tissue from embryonic development
throughout a person's lifetime. - ANSWER -First event of embryotic
development is primary germ layers (ectotherm, mesotherm, and
endotherm). -They then specialize to form the 4 major tissues by second month of
development. -division of nerve cells stop during fetal period. -only epithelia and blood-forming tissues
are highly miotic. -with age, epithelia thins breach prone, tissue repair and circulatory
system is less efficient -More DNA mutation = cancer.
