BSC2085 chapter 5 & 6 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
The four primary tissue classes that constitute the body epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular
matrix composed of fibrous proteins and ground substance
ground substance contains water, gases, minerals, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and chemicals.
allows cells to obtain oxygen and nutrients to release wastes and hormones
Characteristics that distinguish epithelium from the other serve as protection, secretion and absorption.
three primary tissue classes
Functions of the basement membrane and its relationship anchors an epithelium to the underlying connective tissue
to an epithelium
Defining characteristics of a simple epithelium one layer of cells
Four types of simple epithelium and the appearance, squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudo stratified columnar
functions, and representative
locations of simple epithelium
Defining characteristics of a stratified epithelium 2 - 20 layers, resting on the basement membrane
Four types of stratified epithelium and the appearance, squamous, cuboidal, columnar, transitional
functions, and representative
locations of stratified epithelium
Distinctions between keratinized and nonkeratinized
stratified squamous epithelium,
including differences in histology, locations, and
functions
Characteristics that distinguish connective tissue from the
other three primary tissue
classes
Functions of connective tissues binding organs, supports, protection (physical & immune), movement, storage,
heat production, transport
, Cell types found in fibrous connective tissue, and the fibroblasts
functions of each
fibroblasts produce fibers and ground substance
macrophages engulf and destroy bacteria
Leukocytes search for bacteria
plasma cells synthesize antibodies
mast cells secrete heparin and histamine
Adipocytes fat cells
Fiber types found in fibrous connective tissue, their collagenous, reticular, elastic
composition, and the functions of each
collagenous fibers Strong and flexible connective tissue fibers that contain the protein collagen
reticular fibers thin collagen fibers coated with glycoprotein, spongelike framework
elastic fibers recoil after being stretched
The appearance, functions, and locations of areolar,
reticular, dense irregular, and dense
regular connective tissue
adipose tissue energy storage and energy use
the three types of cartilage and how they differ in No blood vessels, hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
histology, function, and location
Defining characteristics of osseous tissue as a class spongy and compact
spongy bone fills the heads of the long bones and forms the middle layer of flat bones such as
the sternum and cranial bones
compact bone calcified tissue with no spaces, covers the spongy bone
Why blood is classified as connective tissue; the term for because it has a matrix called plasma
its matrix
Why nervous and muscular tissue are called excitable
tissues even though excitability is a property of all living
cells
