NR 660 Exam 2 Study Guide question
and answer 2024/2025
Histology is the study of - answer-tissues
Tissues are structurally more complex than- answer-cells
What general tissue type binds, supports, and protects the body? -
answer-connective
What type of protein fiber, commonly found in the extracellular matrix,
is extensible? - answer-elastic
what type of cell junction would most likely prevent water from flowing
between our cells? - answer-tight junctions
cells in the epidermis of skin need to be held tightly together so that an
impermeable barrier to fluids is created. what type of junction performs
this function? - answer-tight junction
gel-like ground substance is the major component of the extracellular
matrix (ECM) (true or false) - answer-true
,what component of ground substance adheres cells to each other and to
their places within the ECM? - answer-glycoproteins
protein channels that are situated between cells and create small pores
for the passage of small substances are known as: - answer-gap junctions
How are epithelial tissues classified? - answer-Epithelium is classified
by the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells.
You examine a tissue slide through the microscope and recognize one
layer of cells that are mostly tall and elongated. You determine this
tissue to be __________. - answer-simple columnar epithelium
simple squamous epithelium is found lining the: - answer-air sacs in the
lungs
the tissue pictured in this figure is - answer-composed of a single layer
of columnar cells appearing stratified
which of the following epithelia can be keratinized? - answer-stratified
squamous epithelium
Keratinized, dead cells are associated with __________. - answer-
stratified squamous epithelium
, Where is simple columnar epithelium found? - answer-lining of the
small intestine
the epidermis of the skin serves as a barrier to mechanical stresses and
protects us from microorganisms. what tissue forms the epidermis? -
answer-stratified squamous epithelium
which of the following is composed of multiple layers of cells? - answer-
transitional epithelium
which organ system is lined by transitional epithelium to accommodate
stretching? - answer-urinary system
Glands, such as the thyroid, that secrete their products directly into the
blood rather than through ducts are classified as ________. - answer-
endocrine
What type of secretion involves the release of substances, such as saliva
and sweat, in secretory vesicles by exocytosis? - answer-merocrine
The free surface of an epithelial tissue is the __________. - answer-
apical surface
stratified epithelium does not line the areas where transcellular transport
is required (true/false) - answer-true
