BIOL 2457 TISSUES QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE 2025/2026
What are the 4 types of tissue - Answers epithelial, nervous, connective,
Describe epithelial tissue - Answers continuous sheets of tissue lining the surfaces and internal
cavities of the body
Describe connective tissue - Answers one or more cell types embedded in a matrix and gives
form to the body
Describe nervous tissue - Answers receive, integrate, and transmit signals about internal and
external stimuli
Describe muscle tissue - Answers elongate fibers specialized for contraction and movement for
body parts
What are the major forms of epithelial tissue - Answers glandular and covering & lining
What are the functions of covering & lining epithelial tissue - Answers absorption, protection,
excretion, filtration, sensory reception
What is the function of the glandular epithelial tissue - Answers secretion
Name the characteristics of epithelial tissue - Answers apical-basal polarity, use of tight
junctions and desmosomes, always sit upon a reticular lamina, avascular but innervated, high
regenerative capacity
Name the classifications of epithelial tissue - Answers simple squamous, simple columnar,
simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, transitional, and
pseudostratified columnar
What are the characteristics of stratified squamous tissue? - Answers multiple layers of
squamous cells, most widespread epithelium, found in high areas of abrasion where protection
is needed
Keratinized cells are - Answers dead cells that have been pushed and squeezed to the top of
skin that have hardened and serve as extra protection
Describe stratified cuboidal tissue - Answers 2 layers of cuboidal cells, relatively uncommon,
enhances durability of glands.
Where can stratified cuboidal tissue be found - Answers Salivary glands, sweat glands,
mammary glands
Describe stratified columnar tissue - Answers multiple layers of columnar cells, relatively
uncommon, functions in durability and protection
