Simple epithelial tissue consists of one layer of cells and is used for ___________. - ANSWERgas
exchange
stratified epithelial tissue consists of more than one layer of cells and is used for ____________. -
ANSWERprotection
3 types of epithelial tissues - ANSWERSquamous epithelium = "platelike" or "squashed flat"
Cuboidal epithelium = cube-shaped cells
Columnar epithelium = tall rectangular "column-shaped" cells
___________ tissue supports/connects body parts, stores fat and produces the cells of the blood. Holds
things together in the body swell as give structure & protect body parts. - ANSWERConnective
An important feature is that connective tissues are comprised of very few cells, but has lots of
extracellular material between the cells.This extracellular material is produced by the cells and is called
_________ - ANSWER"matrix".
, _______________ allow movement of the body or movement within the body. Cells are closely joined
with little extracellular material. Muscle tissue also contains specialized protein fibers that are capable of
contraction. Can you name the three muscle tissue types? - ANSWERMuscle tissues
Muscle tissue also contains specialized protein fibers that are capable of contraction. Name the three
muscle tissue types? - ANSWERCardiac, skeletal & smooth muscle
________________ heart muscle, has one centrally located nucleus. - ANSWERCardiac Muscle Tissue
The cardiac muscle tissue is ________because it can contract without any conscious thought on our part
and without any stimulation by nerves. - ANSWER"involuntary"
Skeletal Muscle Tissue connects to ________which attach to __________. skeletal muscle tissue is
"voluntary" because we exert conscious control over its activity. - ANSWERtendons, bones
skeletal muscle tissue is skeletal muscle tissue is _______________ because we exert conscious control
over its activity. - ANSWER"voluntary"
______________________ surrounds hollow organs and tubes. It too has one has one centrally located
nucleus, no striations, short, and tapered cells. Like cardiac muscle tissue it is also "involuntary". -
