GH125 GRCC STUDY GUIDE WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
What is epithelial tissue? - ANSWER Covers body and lines cavities with
packed cells.
What is connective tissue? - ANSWER Mostly matrix with few cells, strong
and flexible.
What is muscle tissue? - ANSWER Tissue that contracts to produce
movement.
What are the 4 types/shapes of epithelial cells? - ANSWER Squamous,
cuboidal, columnar, stratified transitional
How are epithelial cells classified? - ANSWER Simple or stratified
What is the function of squamous epithelial cells? - ANSWER Absorption
(simple) and protection (stratified)
What is the function of cuboidal epithelial cells? - ANSWER Secretory activity;
glands (ie saliva, digestive juices, hormones
What is the function of columnar epithelial cells? - ANSWER Absorption
(simple) and production of mucus (contain goblet cells); found in
stomach/intestines; pseudostratified in resp. tract
What is the function of stratified transitional epithelium? - ANSWER Stretch
from cuboidal to squamous shape; found in bladder
what are the four main types of tissue - ANSWER epithelial, connective,
muscle, nervous
, What are the five types of connective tissue? - ANSWER Areolar, adipose,
fibrous, cartilage, bone
connective tissues is the most abundant in the body/most widely distributed
tissues)
What is areolar connective tissue? - ANSWER Loose, fibrous collagen, strong
and flexible, found in fascia
What is adipose tissue? - ANSWER Connective tissue that stores lipids (fat),
regulates metabolism, and produces hormones
What are the functions of adipose tissue? - ANSWER Fat storage, heat
production, hormone secretion
What are the types muscle tissues? - ANSWER skeletal, cardiac, smooth
What is cardiac muscle? - ANSWER Striated and involuntary; composes heart
wall.
What is smooth muscle? - ANSWER Non-striated (visceral) and involuntary;
found in blood vessels and tubes.
what is skeletal muscle - ANSWER striated and voluntary attaches to bone
muscle tissue - ANSWER movement thru muscle contraction; heat generation
thru shivering
What is nervous tissue? - ANSWER Tissue for rapid communication in body
What are the two types of cells in nervous tissue? - ANSWER Neuron and Glia
What is the function of a neuron? - ANSWER Rapid communication and
control of body functions
