Human Anatomy Exam test queries
with answers graded A+
Cytoskeleton - ANS✅✅Skeleton of a cell
Microtubules - ANS✅✅Hollow tubes of tubulin protein
Microfilaments - ANS✅✅Actin filaments
Intermediate Filaments - ANS✅✅Protein fibers wound like a rope
Tight Junction - ANS✅✅A type of cell junction that is especially good to make seals between cells
(belt like seal).
Desmosome - ANS✅✅A type of cell junction that is especially good for strength. Made os linker
proteins, and intermediate filaments
Gap Junction - ANS✅✅A type of cell junction that is used for intracellular communication
Tissue - ANS✅✅A group of similar cells, and their binding extracellular matrix joined to perform a
specific function
Organ - ANS✅✅Two or more tissues coming together
4 Types of tissue - ANS✅✅Epithelial
Connective
Nervous
Muscle
Function of Epithelial tissue - ANS✅✅Covering, or lining an organ.
Function of Connective tissue - ANS✅✅Supportive ("glue" between other tissue types)
, Function of Nervous tissue - ANS✅✅Control (sending signals in the body)
Function of Muscle tissue - ANS✅✅Movement
Characteristics of Epithelial - ANS✅✅Little extracellular space
Distinct basal, and apical surfaces
Abundant cell junctions
Sits on basal membrane
Avascular
Innervated
High regeneration
Avascular - ANS✅✅No blood vessels running through them
Basal Lamina - ANS✅✅Non-cellular sheet of proteins. Provides the surface for new cells to build
Basement membrane - ANS✅✅Basal Lamina, and reticular fibers of the underlying connective
tissue
Microvilli - ANS✅✅Folds of plasma membrane of moist epithelial tissue.
(expands surface area)
Cilia - ANS✅✅Whiplike, motile extensions of the cells surface.
Used in movement
3 Types of epithelial cells - ANS✅✅Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Stratified Epithelial - ANS✅✅2 or more cell layers
