EXAM 3 RIO SALADO BIO156 EXPECTED QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
Question 1.
epithelial tissue
ANSWER
are classified by the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells. They cover both the external
and internal body surfaces
Question 2.
glandular tissue is
ANSWER
are considered epithelial. Exocrine glands release substances through tubes and ducts. Endocrine
glands secrete substances directly into the area that surrounds them.
Question 3.
types of epithelial tissue
ANSWER
Layers can be simple, pseudostratified, or stratified. The shape can be squamous (flattened), cuboidal
(cube-like), or columnar (elongated).
Question 4.
connective tissue functions
ANSWER
is to provide support
Question 5.
The fibrous connective tissues range in collagen and are labeled
ANSWER
loose, dense, and elastic
Question 6.
Examples of special connective tissues include
ANSWER
cartilage, bone, blood, and adipose (stores fat).
1
,Question 7.
The connective tissue with the highest amount of liquid matrix
ANSWER
Blood
Question 8.
Muscle tissue
ANSWER
provide the actions for your entire body by contracting when stimulated
Question 9.
types of muscle tissue
ANSWER
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Question 10.
nervous tissue
ANSWER
are made up mostly of neurons. One end has branched dendrites that picks up chemical messages.
The long axon communicates the outgoing message.
Question 11.
cellular junctions
ANSWER
Cells touch each other, and there are a variety of ways they communicate with each other (or,
connect in such a way that allows the passage of chemicals and nutrients from one to another.
2
,Question 12.
Cellular Junction Types
ANSWER
Tight junctions, adhering junctions, and Gap Junctions
Question 13.
Tight Junctions
ANSWER
hold cells together so that no substances can squeeze through the outside of the cells. Example of
tissues with tight junctions between cells are the epithelium and the digestive system.
Question 14.
adhering junc- tions/desmosomes
ANSWER
hold cells together that stretch, like the lung and heart.
Question 15.
gap junctions
ANSWER
connect neighboring cells so cells can communicate with each other easily, as seen in smooth and
cardiac muscle.
Question 16.
Which of the following are functions of the kidneys?
ANSWER
Elimination of metabolic wastes Production of urine Maintenance of salt balance Maintenance of
water balance
Question 17.
Which of the following is a physiological retakes place in many animals when they get too hot?
ANSWER
Increased blood flow to the skin
Question 18.
Most homeostatic mechanisms depend on which of the following?
ANSWER
negative feedback
3
, Question 19.
How many organ systems are there?
ANSWER
11 organ systems
Question 20.
Body Cavities posterior
ANSWER
Cranial- houses the brain Vertebral - houses the spinal chord
Question 21.
Body Cavities anterior
ANSWER
Thoracic - houses your heart and lungs Abdominal - houses most of your digestive organs Pelvic -
houses the reproductive organs, the bladder, and the rectum
