HTHS 1110 Unit 7 Questions and All
Correct Answers 2025-2026 Updated.
What are the 4 important groups of different tissue? - Answer epithelial, connective, muscle
and nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue - Answer Forms coverings protecting the body from the outside world, forms
borders, and Lines hollow organs and forms glands
Where is Epithelial tissue located? - Answer lining of GI tract organs and other hollow
organs, skin surface: epidermis
Connective tissue - Answer Protects and holds the structure of body
Where is connective tissue located? - Answer fat and other soft padding tissue, bone, tendon
Muscular tissue - Answer Moves body part
Where is muscular tissue located? - Answer cardiac,smooth,skeletal
Nervous tissue - Answer Sensation, information processing, and control of body parts
Where is nervous tissue located? - Answer brain, spinal cord, nerves
What are the 2 surfaces that epithelial cells have? - Answer -Apical: faces outside world (on
top)
-Basal surface: attaches to basement membrane (at bottom)
What are the 2 surfaces that the basement membrane has? - Answer -Basal lamina- next to
the cells
-Reticular lamina-next to connective tissue (a bit deeper)
what are the 3 terms that describe the arrangement of cells? - Answer -simple
-pseudostratified
-stratified
, Define simple arrangement - Answer One layer, all cells in contact with basement membrane
Define Pseudostratified arrangement - Answer All cells in contact with basement membrane
but appears to have layers
Define stratified arrangement - Answer 2 or more layers. Only basal layer is in contact with
basement membrane.
What are the 3 terms that describe the shape of the cells? - Answer -squamous
-cuboidal
-columnar
Define squamous shape - Answer flat, wide, "paving stone" cells
define cuboidal shape - Answer cells as tall as they are wide
define columnar shape - Answer cells taller than they are wide
What are the 8 epithelial tissue types? - Answer -Simple Squamous
-Simple cuboidal
-Simple columnar
-Stratified squamous
-Stratified cuboidal
-Stratified columnar
-Pseudostratified columnar
-Transitional
What is the function and location of Simple Squamous? - Answer Function: Diffusion or
filtration
-Locations: Lining of heart and blood vessels, Alveoli (air sacs) of lungs, Kidney filtration
describe simple squamous appearance - Answer -Single layer of thin, flat cells
What is the function and location of Simple cuboidal? - Answer -Function: Secretion or
absorption
-Locations:Kidney tubules, Exocrine glands
