1. Define epithelial tissue. Give its detailed classification and provide one example
of each type. 10 points
The sheets of cells that cover exterior surfaces of the body, lines internal
cavities and passageways, and forms certain gland
Epithelial
Simple Pseudostraitified Stratified Transitional
(bladder)
Squarmous
(Lung alveoli) Squamous
Columar (trachea) Columar
(skin) (Urethra)
Columnar
Cuboidal
(small/large intestine)
(kidney tubule)
Cuboidal
(sweat/mammary glands)
Number Layer of Cells Shape of Cell
Simple – single layer Squamous- Flat
Cuboidal- cubed shape
Stratified – several layer of
Columnar- shaped like a column
cell
2. Define connective tissue. Give its detailed classification and provide one example
of each type. 10 points
Binds the cells and organs of the body together and functions in the
protection, support, and integration of all parts of the body.
4 types of connective tissues
- Loose connective tissue Cartilage Blood
Bone Tissue
*Areolar- fibroblast, macrophages *Hyaline cartilage-
embryonic skeleton, the *Compact bone-
* Adipose- under skin, around marrow space
end of long bones, nose,
kidney,w/in abdomen & in breast (medullary cavity)
trachea & larynx
* Reticular- lymph nodes, bone *Elastic cartilage-external *Spongy bone-
marrow, spleen ends of long bones,
ear (pinna) & epiglottis
pelvis, ribs,
- Dense connective tissue *Fibrocartilage- vertebrae, & skull
intervertebral discs, pubic
* Regular- tendons, ligaments &
symphysis, discs of knee
aponeuroses
joint
* Irregular- dermis, submucosa of the
fine nucleotide. Explain the structure of DNA in detail.
