Bio 201 Lab Exam 1 questions and answers
Graded A+
Simple Squamous Epithelium
A single layer of flattened cells
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
A single layer of cube shaped cells
Simple Columnar Epithelium
A single layer of tall cells that fit closely together
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Multiple layers of flat cells
Transitional Epithelium
Multiple layers of cells which appear cuboidal when not stretched, but squamous
when stretched; found in the urinary organs.
Adipose Tissue
Tissue that stores fat.
Reticular Tissue
Type of loose connective tissue that provides a supportive framework to soft
organs, such as lymphatic tissue, spleen, and the liver
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Attaches muscles to bones or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands
great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction.
Hyaline Cartilage
Most common type of cartilage; it is found on the ends of long bones, ribs, and
nose.
Fibrocartilage
, Cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen, such as that of the
intervertebral disks in the spinal cord.
Elastic Cartilage
Cartilage with abundant elastic fibers; more flexible than hyaline cartilage.
Compact Bone
Hard, dense bone tissue that is beneath the outer membrane of a bone.
Blood
Connective tissue made of plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.
Skeletal Muscle
A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that
moves the bones.
Smooth Muscle
Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body.
Cardiac Muscle
Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.
Neuron
A nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system.
Sagittal Plane
Divides body into left and right- doesn't have to be medial.
Midsagittal Plane
Divides the body into equal left and right halves.
Transverse Plane
Divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.
Coronal Plane
Divides the body into front (Anterior) and back (Posterior) portions.
