Review – Exam #2
Human Biology – Ch. 5, 9 & 12
Ch. 5… Tissue Types
Four types of tissues discussed in this chapter…
Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Epithelial… where is it found in the body?
How do we categorize (name) the tissue-types? (shape… i.e. cuboidal)
Know these epithelial tissue shapes/categories…
1. Squamous
2. Cuboidal
3. Columnar
What is the difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissue?
Glands in our body are made of this type of tissue? ______________
Mucous membranes are composed of this type of tissue? _______________
Connective…
Most abundant tissue type… used many times for anchoring parts of body to
other parts…
Cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph are types of specialized connective tissues
Adipose tissue (between skin layers and muscle layers)
Elastic tissue (i.e. aortic blood vessel on top of heart)
Muscle tissue…
There are three types of muscular tissue are
• skeletal muscle
• smooth muscle
• cardiac muscle
Which of the above are voluntary vs. involuntary as far as how our nervous
system controls them?
, Review – Exam #2
Human Biology – Ch. 5, 9 & 12
Where are each type found in the body?
Two are found most places in body… one is only found in one organ…
General shape of muscle cells… one nucleus or many for each type of muscle
cell discussed in class.
Why are cardiac muscles shaped like a net (so interwoven)?
Nervous tissue…
Found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves leading from both…
Two basic types of cells:
Neurons
Neuroglia
Know the general anatomy of a neuron… (shape of the cell & main function is
enough)
Sensory vs. motor nerves… know the difference… which way does the impulse
travel?
Ch. 9 (Immunity and cross-section of the skin)
Know first vs. second line of defense against foreign invaders (i.e. pathogens)…
