and Answers
Where is the nucleus on a cuboidal cell? --- correct answers ---
Centrally located
Columnar Cell --- correct answers ---Cell that is taller rather than
wide
Where is nucleus of the Columnar cell located? --- correct answers ---
Basal region
Simple Squamous --- correct answers ---single layer of flattened cells
often found lining blood vessels
Simple cuboidal --- correct answers ---Single layer of cube cells lining
some glands
Simple Columnar --- correct answers ---Single layer of column shaped
cells often found in GI tract.
,Stratified squamous --- correct answers ---Multiple layers of flat
shaped cells
an example of a stratified squamous cell --- correct answers ---Most
superficial layer of skin
stratified cuboidal --- correct answers ---multiple layers of cube
shaped cells
where would you find stratified cuboidal cells? --- correct answers ---
Ducts and glands
What are functions of stratified cuboidal cells? --- correct answers ---
Secretion, protection, and strengthening of ducts/glands.
Stratified columnar --- correct answers ---Multiple layers of columnar
shaped cells
Where would you find stratified columnar cells? --- correct answers --
-Male urethra, used for protection and secretion
,Transitional epithelium --- correct answers ---Multi layered cell that
allows for stretching
Pseduostratified (ciliated columnar) --- correct answers ---single
layer of cells that are hair like and help move mucous
Where would a psedustraified cell be located? --- correct answers ---
respiratory tract
What is the most abundant tissue in the body? --- correct answers ---
connective tissue
Why is connective tissue the most diverse type of tissue in the body? -
-- correct answers ---ranges from soft to hard
What are the functions of connective tissue? --- correct answers ---
Support/ protection, Structural framework, medium for exchange,
storage and repair, and defence.
Cell components of connective tissue --- correct answers ---Fixed and
wandering
, What is a fixed cell --- correct answers ---they are a permanent
resident of CT
What is a Wandering cell --- correct answers ---migrants who have
entered CT through blood
Fibres of Connective tissue --- correct answers ---Collagen, Reticular,
and Elastic
Ground Substance --- correct answers ---occupies space between cells
and fibres of connective tissue. High water content transparent and
colourless and viscous
Loose CT --- correct answers ---CT with more ground substance and
few CT fibres
Example of Loose CT --- correct answers ---Adipose tissue
Function of Loose CT --- correct answers ---acts as padding and
insulates against heat loss
