,Histology is __________.
the study of normal structure of tissues
the study of the normal function of cells
the study of the normal function of tissues
the study of the normal structure of cells - CORRECT ANSWERS-the study of normal
structure of tissues
The study of normal tissue structure is called __________.
cytology
biopsy
histology
autopsy - CORRECT ANSWERS-histology
Which of the following is NOT a tissue type?
muscle tissue
epithelial tissue
connective tissue
extracellular matrix - CORRECT ANSWERS-extracellular matrix
Which of these tissue types has the most abundant ECM?
nervous tissue
muscle tissue
epithelial tissue
connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS-connective tissue
As you examine a slide under the microscope, you see multiple cell types surrounded
by abundant ECM and protein fibers. You identify this tissue type as __________.
epithelial tissue
nervous tissue
muscle tissue
connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS-connective tissue
Dr. Riehm shows you an unlabeled tissue slide and says the tissue is very resistant to
stretching, tearing, and compression. He then asks you what you can conclude about
the structure of the extracellular matrix (ECM)
The ECM has many elastic fibers and a fluid ground substance.
The ECM contains only collagen fibers but no ground substance.
The ECM contains collagen fibers embedded in a fluid ground substance.
The ECM has abundant collagen fibers in a gel-like ground substance. - CORRECT
ANSWERS-The ECM has abundant collagen fibers in a gel-like ground substance.
, Dr. Riehm continued to ask questions about epithelial tissues. He used the eyepiece
pointer of the microscope to mark a structure in an area of normal skin, and you are
able to identify the structure as a sweat gland. Since sweat is secreted onto the skin,
you know that sweat glands are __________ glands and their products have effects on
__________ cells.
Endocrine; distant.
Endocrine; local.
Exocrine; local.
Exocrine; distant. - CORRECT ANSWERS-exocrine, local
Dr. Riehm has asked you to develop some flashcards pertaining to the different cells
found in connective tissue proper. Which one of the following is not a normal resident
cell found in connective tissue proper?
Chondrocytes.
Fibroblasts.
Adipocytes.
Mast cells. - CORRECT ANSWERS-chondrocytes
While making your flashcards, you see that skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated.
Why do skeletal muscle cells have this property?
Skeletal muscle fibers are formed by the fusion of embryonic chondroblasts.
Multinucleation is an advantage because of skeletal muscle fiber size and the amount of
protein synthesis that takes place in these metabolically active cells.
The original nucleus in a skeletal muscle fiber undergoes repeated rounds of mitosis.
Skeletal muscle fibers are formed by the fusion of osteogenic cells and the nucleus of
each osteogenic cell is retained in the mature muscle fiber. - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Multinucleation is an advantage because of skeletal muscle fiber size and the amount of
protein synthesis that takes place in these metabolically active cells.
You have been reviewing nervous tissue slides for hours. Dr. Riehm has asked you to
discuss the structure and function of a neuron. Which of the following statements is
correct?
Axons are always short, with numerous branches that carry nerve impulses away from
the cell body.
Both axons and dendrites are highly branched extensions of the cell body that send and
receive nerve impulses to and from the cell body.
Dendrites are always long unbranched processes that receive and carry signals toward
the cell body.
Axons are long singular extensions of the cell body that carry nerve impulses away from
the cell body. - CORRECT ANSWERS-Axons are long singular extensions of the cell
body that carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
