BIO 201 - Anatomy and Physiology
UPDATED Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
basement membrane - CORRECT ANSWER - layer between epithelium and connective
tissue
4 types of tissue - CORRECT ANSWER - epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
histology - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of tissues and how they are arranged into
organs
tightly knit cells found around organs, layers of skin, and glands
protect, secrete, absorb - CORRECT ANSWER - epithelial tissue
matrix (a lot of space, not a lot of cells)
support, bind, connect, or protect - CORRECT ANSWER - connective tissue
elongated, excitable cells that contract - CORRECT ANSWER - muscle tissue
specialized excitable cells for rapid transfusion of coded information - CORRECT
ANSWER - nervous tissue
lumen - CORRECT ANSWER - hollow interiors of tubules
apical surface - CORRECT ANSWER - layer of cells closest to the lumen
, basal surface - CORRECT ANSWER - deepest layer of cells
squamous - CORRECT ANSWER - flattened cells with disc-shaped nuclei
cuboidal - CORRECT ANSWER - cube shaped cells with prominent, round nuclei
columnar - CORRECT ANSWER - column shaped cells with oval nuclei
stratified (classification of epithelial cells) - CORRECT ANSWER - layered
simple (classification of epithelial cells) - CORRECT ANSWER - one layer
keratinized - CORRECT ANSWER - dead cells filled with keratin (top layer of skin)
simple squamous epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER - allows for rapid osmosis/diffusion
found in veins and arteries, air sacs and alveoli, glomerular capsules of kidneys
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER - resists abrasion,
minimizes water loss through skin, keeps pathogens out
found in epidermis, especially in palms and soles of feet
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER - resists abrasion,
keeps pathogen out
found in tongue, esophagus, anal canal, and vagina
