BIOL 2401 REVIEW ANATOMY EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔simple cuboidal epithelium - ✔✔- exists in tiny tubes of the kidney and certain glands
and on the surface of the ovary
- protects underlying tissues and allows passage of material between the blood and
kidney fluid destines to become urine
✔✔stratified cuboidal epithelium - ✔✔- exists in the ducts of certain glands
- primary function is protection of underlying tissues
✔✔simple columnar epithelium - ✔✔- nonciliated type makes up the inner lining of the
digestive tract where it allows absorption of digested food molecules
- ciliated type lines the oviducts and the small tubes in the lungs, where it moves mucus
that traps dust and other particles
✔✔stratified columnar epithelium - ✔✔- lines the male's urethra and ducts of some
glands
- protects underlying tissues
✔✔pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium - ✔✔- contains ciliated cells and goblet
cells and lines the nasal cavity, trachea, and part of the male's urethra
- protects underlying tissues by secreting and moving mucus
, ✔✔transitional epithelium - ✔✔- exists in the lining of the urinary bladder, ureters, and
part of the urethra
- allows organs to expand
✔✔connective tissue - ✔✔most abundant tissue in the body and serves primarily to bind
structures together
✔✔what are the functions of connective tissue? - ✔✔support, protection, insulation,
movement, shock absorption, transport of nutrients and metabolites, and storage
✔✔mesenchyme - ✔✔an undifferentiated, embryonic tissue that all connective tissue
arises from
✔✔what are the major structural characteristics of connective tissue? -
✔✔vascularization and an extensive matrix
✔✔vascularization - ✔✔supplied with blood vessels (all connective tissue expect
cartilage)
✔✔2 components of connective tissue matrix - ✔✔ground substance and extracellular
fibers
✔✔ground substance - ✔✔the fluid component of the matrix and contains water, ions,
nutrients, metabolities, adhesion proteins and proteoglycans
✔✔adhesion proteins - ✔✔connect cells to extracellular fibers and the ground
substance
✔✔fibronectin - ✔✔most common adhesion protein
✔✔proteoglycans - ✔✔central "wire" consists of a filamentous protein while the
"bristles" include a variety of polysaccharides
✔✔2 common polysaccharides associated with proteoglycans - ✔✔hyaluronic acid and
chondroitin sulfate
✔✔hyaluronic acid - ✔✔makes ground substance very slippery and aids in lubrication,
especially in joints
✔✔chondroitin sulfate - ✔✔makes the ground substance more viscous and helps hold
the matrix together, especially in cartilage and bone tissue
