ECPI BIO 111 Chapter 5 Exam Questions With
100% Verified Correct Answers.
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
4 major types of tissues in the body are
Nervous tissue
What is the most important tissue in the body
histology
the study of tissue
Epithelial tissue
what tissue cover all body surfaces; involves with protection, transport materials
Tissue
A group of similar cells with a common function
Connective tissue
connect body parts together; have the most variety of structure and function
Muscle tissue
produce the majority of the body heat; moves body and body parts; protect against trauma
Nervous tissue
THE most important tissue; stores memory; generates personality; and emotions; analyze
sensory info; initiate motor commands; problem solving skills
tight junctions
, Close space between cells by fusing cell membranes
Desmosomes
Bind cells by forming "spot welds" between cell membranes
Gap junction
Form tubular channels between cells that allow exchange of substances (e.g. ions)
epithelial tissue
•Cover all body surfaces inside the body and outside the body; lines cavities and hollow organs
yes
Will I pass my exam?
basement membrane
(thin connective tissue layer that the epithelial cells sit on top of, its helps anchor the
epithelium to whatever is underneath) deep to the epithelium
squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-shaped), columnar (tall/rectangular)
Shapes of epithelial tissues
simple (one layer of cells), stratified (2 or more layer of cells), or pseudostratified (appears
layered, but is not)
Layers of epithelial tissue
Simple squamous epithelium
single layer of thin, flat cells; substances pass easily through microscopic air sacs (alveoli) and
microscopic blood vessels (capillaries); found in diffusion and filtration sites
epithelial tissue
Lack blood vessels (avascular... BUT blood vessels are always nearby); cells readily divide;
injuries heal rapidly
