BIOL 1108: Exam 3- Principles of Biology II (Latest 2026/ 2027
Update) Review| 100% Verified Questions & Answer| Grade A.
List the hierarchy of life. Which ones are considered anatomy & physiology?
Hint: 13 total terms, 6 A&P - ANS Biosphere, ecosystem, community, population,
ORGANISM, ORGAN SYSTEMS, ORGANS, TISSUES, CELLS, ORGANELLES, molecules,
atoms, sub-atomic particles.
Capitals are A&P
What is anatomy? What is physiology? - ANS Anatomy is the structure.
Physiology is the function.
Define tissue, organs and organ systems. - ANS T: integrated group of similar cells that
preform a specific function.
O: 2 or more tissues (muscles & BV)
OS: multiple organs coordinated together to perform a function (heart arteries & veins)
What are 3 key things to know about tissues? - ANS 1. nonliving fibrous proteins
2. "glued" together by sticky glycoprotein which form the extracellular matrix

3. held together by special junctions (tight, anchoring and gap functions)
What are 4 major animal tissue types? What is the function of each? - ANS 1. epithelial:
coverings/lining tissues, serves for protection, secretion and exchange
2. connective: structural tissues, binds & supports
3. muscle: movement
4. nervous: communication and control, conduct electrical impulses
An epithelial cell base (basal) is anchored by ...? - ANS Basement membrane AKA basal
lamina.
How are tissues named? - ANS By the number of cell layers and cell shape.
Define: simple, stratified, & pseudostratified. - ANS Simple: single layer
Strat: multiple layers of cells
Pseudo: single layer of different sized cells
Define: squamous, cuboidal, columnar and give their function. - ANS Squamous: flat tile
like, for exchange (diffusion)
Cube: cube like, for secretion and absorption
Columnar: rectangular, for secretion and absorption
What is stratified squamous epithelium? - ANS Multiple cell layers which can be
slouched off and is found covering exposed surfaces subject to the abrasion (skin)

What do cuboidal and columnar cells form? - ANS Glandular epithelium -> mucus
membranes secrete mucus which traps foreign particles.
What are the 6 major types of connective tissue? - ANS 1. loose connective tissue
2. cartilage
3. fibrous connective tissue
4. adipose tissue
5. blood
6. bone
List the function of loose connective tissue. What is it made out of? - ANS F(x): Holds
other tissues and organs in place, fills spaces.
It is made out of large fibers like collagen and elastin.
List the function of fibrous connective tissue. What is it made out of? - ANS F(x): forms
tendons (muscle to bone) and ligaments (bone to bone).
It is made out of densely packed bundles of collagen forming very strong non-elastic.
List the function of adipose tissue. What is it made out of? - ANS F(x): fat storage,
insulation and protection.
It is made out of closely packed cells in a loose fiber matrix.
What is the difference between white and brown adipose tissue? - ANS White A.T: fat
storage, insulation, organ protection and body contours
