Human Anatomy: Histology Questions and Answers Graded A 3 - ANS- Which is the correct name for pseudostratified epithelial tissue? 1. pseudostratified epithelial tissue 2. pseudostratified columnar ciliated tissue 3. pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelial tissue 4. pseudostratified ciliated epithelium 4 Main Types of Tissues - ANS- 1) epithelial 2) muscle 3) connective 4) nervous Adipose Tissue - ANS- -fat -provides padding, cushioning, insulation, stores energy reserves basement membrane - ANS- a thin membrane of protein fibers separating an epithelium from underlying tissue Blood Tissue - ANS- -contains red/white blood cells, platelets, plasma -transport of materials, immune response Bone Tissue (osseous) - ANS- -function: strong, resistant to shattering -location: bone -cross section of tree trunks -vascularized Callagen Fibers - ANS- long, mostly straight, strong, flexible, unbranched Cardiac Muscle Tissue - ANS- -function: circulates blood -involuntary -location: heart -distinguishing features: striated, branched cells, intercalated disks, glycogen deposits, single nucleus in each cell Cartilage - ANS- matrix of a firm gel with embedded fibers Function: provides support and attachments also cushions bones Collagen Fibers - ANS- -thick -long, mostly straight, strong, flexible, unbranced columnar - ANS- column, rectangle Connective Tissue - ANS- -binds structures together -provides support, protection, framework, fills space, stores fat, produces blood cells, fights infections, and helps repair tissues -good blood supply -cells can reproduce cuboidal - ANS- square, orderly Dense Connective Tissue - ANS- -in dermis layer of skin (irregular) -in tendons/ligaments (regular) -waves Elastic Cartilage - ANS- -function: provides support, tolerates distortion w/o damage, and returns to original shape -location: external ear and larynx -more cell density than hyaline Elastic Fibers - ANS- -thin -very flexible, wavy, branched, elastic Elastic Fibers - ANS- very flexible, wavy, branched Epithelial Tissue - ANS- -attached to the underlying connective tissue by non cellular nonliving basement membrane -no blood supply (avascular) -cells tightly packed together Fibrous Cartilage - ANS- -function: shock absorbing, limits bone to bone contact -location: found in pads within knee joint, intervertebral disks -background has fibers First Word - ANS- (Naming Epithelial Tissues) number of layers (simple, stratified, pseudostratified)
