Connective - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Nervous
What is a group of cells that are similar in structure working together to perform a similar
function?
Colony
Organ
Tissue
Organism - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Tissue
How does the structure of epithelial tissue help it to perform its function?
Its ability to conduct electrical signals allows for control and coordination of body movements.
Its fibrous layers allow the tissue to be a strong yet flexible binding agent.
,Its contractile cells that make up the tissue allow for movement.
Its tightly packed cells allow for protection against harmful substances. - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅Its tightly packed cells allow for protection against harmful substances.
Which is the basic functional unit of life?
Organism
Organ
Tissue
Cell - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Cell
What function does epithelial tissue have?
Binding
Control and coordination
Movement
Protection - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Protection
Which correctly relates a function with a type of tissue?
Contraction of the heart : skeletal muscle tissue
Constriction of blood vessels : voluntary muscle tissue
Insulation of the body : nervous tissue
Stomach acid secretion in the digestive tract : epithelial tissue - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅Stomach acid secretion in the digestive tract : epithelial tissue
Which type of tissue functions as an absorber of digested nutrients?
,Connective
Epithelial
Muscle
Nervous - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Epithelial
Which property of muscle tissue gives it the ability to contract and relax?
Presence of neurons
Presence of actin and myosin
Presence of the extracellular matrix
Presence of secretory structures - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Presence of actin and myosin
Which of the following is an example of epithelial tissue?
The brachialis muscle
Insulating fat
The outer lining of the parotid gland
Hyaline cartilage covering bone - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The outer lining of the parotid
gland
Which mineral can the breakdown of bone release to keep the body in homeostasis?
Cesium
Carbon
Calcium
Copper - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Calcium
, Which skeletal system is includes the ribs, sternum, skull, and vertebral column? (the center part
of the skeleton) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Axial Skeleton
Christian was hit on the head by a football. How does the skeletal system help prevent injury?
The elastic bones of the skull help the skull reshape itself to prevent breakage.
The fused bones of the skull lessen the impact on the brain.
The spongy bones of the skull cause the ball to bounce off the head.
The joints in the skull move to prevent the football from hitting the head. - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅The fused bones of the skull lessen the impact on the brain.
How does the skeletal system help aid the body when it is sick?
Physical protection of internal organs from disease-causing organisms
Filtration of disease-causing organisms from the body
Production of white blood cells that can destroy disease-causing organisms
Storage of calcium that makes bones stronger and less prone to attack from Disease-causing
organisms - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Production of white blood cells that can destroy
disease-causing organisms
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that occurs when the body's immune system starts attacking its
own joint tissue. The symptoms are pain, inflammation, and swelling in the joints. Orthopedists
(doctors who study bones) and immunologists (doctors who study the immune system) both
work with patients who have rheumatoid arthritis. What is the difference between the
orthopedists and immunologists who treat the disease?
Only the orthopedists examine the symptoms.
Only the immunologists examine the symptoms.
The orthopedists focus on the joints, and the immunologists focus on the cause.
