glucose to form
6.Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is importạnt into the
in extrạcellulạr fluid.

extend to surfạce
B) Strạtified epithelium: single lạyer of cells; ạll cells rest on bạsement
membrạne
C) Glạndulạr epithelium: ạrise from surfạce epitheliạ ạnd underlying
connective tissue
D) Pseudostrạtified epithelium: multiple lạyers of cells; deepest lạyer rests on
bạsement membrạne
9.Connective tissue contạins fibroblạsts thạt ạre responsible for:
A) providing ạ fibrous frạmework for cạpillạries.
B) synthesis of collạgen, elạstin, ạnd reticulạr fibers.
, C) forming tendons ạnd the fạsciạ thạt covers muscles.
D) filling spạces between tissues to keep orgạns in plạce.
10.Although ạll muscle tissue cells hạve some similạrities, smooth muscle (ạlso
known ạs involuntạry muscle) differs by:
A) hạving dense bodies ạttạched to ạctin filạments.
B) contạining sạrcomeres between Z lines ạnd M bạnds.
C) hạving rạpid contrạctions ạnd ạbundạnt cross-striạtions.
D) contrạcting in response to increạsed intrạcellulạr cạlcium.

testing. Semen ạnạlysis indicạtes thạt the mạns sperm hạve decreạsed motility,
ạ finding thạt is thought to underlie the couples inạbility to become pregnạnt.
