CYTOLOGY EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS.
TRUE OR FALSE
Fibronectin connects integrin to the intermediate filaments outside the cell. - ✔️✔️FALSE
-collagen
Microtubules - ✔️✔️made of tubules
Intermediate filaments - ✔️✔️Used in skin because it allows cells to be stretched and twisted while
remaining conjoined
Gap junctions - ✔️✔️made of connexions
Microfilaments - ✔️✔️also called "actin" because of the protein it is made of
Hemidesmasomes - ✔️✔a️ dheres cells to the basal lamina
Spot desmasomes - ✔️✔️one of the intercellular junctions used to connect cardiac muscle cells in
intercalated disks
Belt desmasomes - ✔️✔️mostly around the perimeter of a cell, this supports the plasma membrane
from the inside
Tight junctions - ✔️✔️present in the bladder, intestines, any water-impermeable tissue
These are thought to help layers of tissues move as one, like when glands invaginate into ducts during
embryogenisis. - ✔️✔️zonula adherins
, Mutations can change the overall structure of proteins. Predict the outcome of a harmful mutation that
modifies the microfilaments of the cytoskeleton of a white blood cell. - ✔️✔️it would decrease the
WBC's ability to move about the body
TRUE OR FALSE
Glycolipids and glycoproteins make up the glycocalyx - ✔️✔️true
A cell will make protein based hormones. What is the correct order of the organelles that will be used in
this process? The top should be the beginning. - ✔️✔️1.Nuclear membrane
2.:Rough ER
3.Transport vesicles
4.Selected:Golgi Body
5.Selected:Secretory vesicles
6.Selected:Cell membrane
Your trachea have short hair-like cell process that move the mucus. What is the name of these hair like
structures and which cytoskeletal elements form them? - ✔️✔c️ ilia, microtubules
TRUE OR FALSE
Fibronectin connects to actin - ✔️✔f️ alse
TRUE OR FALSE
Saturated fatty acids in phospholipd tails make the membrane more fluid and flexible. - ✔️✔f️ alse
