BIOLOGY 1104 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
What is anatomy? Physiology? How are they related? How is form related to function. -
Correct Answers --Anatomy is The Study of how body structures of living organisms
work together.
( the study of form)
-Physiology is the study of how living organisms functions (the study of function)
-They are related because all specific functions are performed by specific structures.
What is a tissue? - Correct Answers -A group or mass of similar cells working together
to perform certain common functions,
What are the 4 types of tissues? - Correct Answers -Epithelial Tissue
Connective Tissue
Muscle Tissue
Nervous Tissue
What features are characteristic of epithelial tissues? Know the types of epithelial tissue
we discussed and where in the body you would find them. - Correct Answers -Found
throughout the body, covers all body surfaces both inside and out
Attached to underlying connective tissue by noncellular nonliving basement membrane.
Usually has no vascular tissue - blood supply.
Cells reproduce rapidly (fast healing)
Cells are tightly packed together.
Functions: Protection, Secretion, Absorption, Excretion, Sensory perception.
What are glands? What types of glands did we talk about? What are their
characteristics/where are they found? (if this is covered) - Correct Answers -Glands are
an organ in the human or animal body that secretes particular chemical substances for
use in the body or for discharge into the surroundings.
What functions do different types of epithelial tissues have? - Correct Answers -
Squamous:
Lines the lungs/gas exchange
Diffusion and osmosis
Simple, one layer
Cubiodial:
, Found in the kidneys and glands
Secretion and absorption
Columnar:
Lines the intestines
-GI Tract
Active transport
Secretion and absorption
What is connective tissue? - Correct Answers -Support, structure, transport, storage
Holding organism in place
Storing fat
Derived from the mesoderm
What are the functions of connective tissue? - Correct Answers -Adipose
-Store fat for energy (energy storage)
-Cushioning and insulation
Cartilage
-Flexible support
-Reduction of function
-Shock absorption
Bone
-Support
-Movement
-Protection
Blood
-Red- transport oxygen
-White- fight off invaders
What is the extracellular matrix? What is found there? - Correct Answers -Matrix
contains fibers
Collagen
-Strong and resistant to stretch, support skin and connections between muscles and
bones
Elastin
-Can be stretched and then recoils, found in tissues that stretch
Lungs, arteries
Know the types of connective tissue we discussed and where in the body you would find
them. - Correct Answers -Cartilage
-Has chondrocytes cells
-Secrete the extracellular matrix
