Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

3. lacks blood vessels
4. composes various glands
5. anchored to connective tissue by a basement membrane

Which of these are characterics of epithelial tissues?

back 1

e. 2,3,4,5

front 2

Which of these embryonic germ layers gives rise to muscle, bone, and blood vessels?

back 2

c. mesoderm

front 3

A tissue that covers a surface, is one cell layer thick, and is composed of flat cells is

back 3

a. simple squamous epithelium

front 4

Stratified epithelium is usually found in areas of the body where the principal activity is

back 4

b. protection

front 5

Which of these characteristics do NOT describe nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium?

back 5

d. found in the skin

so it has many layers of cells, flat surface cells, living surface cells, and outer layers covered by fluid

front 6

In parts of the body where considerable expansion occurs, such as the urinary bladder, which type of epithelium would you expect to find?

back 6

c. transitional

front 7

Epithelial cells with microvilli are most likely found

back 7

d. lining the small intestine.

front 8

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium can be found lining the

back 8

b. trachea

front 9

A type of cell connection whose only function is to prevent the cells from coming apart is a

back 9

a. desmosome

front 10

The glands that lose their connection with epithelium during embryonic development and secrete their cellular products into the bloodstream are called ____________ glands.

back 10

b. endocrine

front 11

A _____________ gland has a duct that branches repeatedly, and the ducts end in saclike structures.

back 11

e. merocrine

front 12

The fibers in dense connective tissue are produced by

back 12

a. fibroblasts

front 13

Mesenchymal cells

back 13

d. All of these are correct.

so they form ebryonic connective tissue, give rise to all adult connective tissues, in adults produce new connective tissue cells in response to injury.

front 14

A tissue with a large number of collagen fibers organized parallel to each other would most likely be found in

back 14

b. a tendon

front 15

Extremely delicate fibers that make up the framework for organs such as the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes are

back 15

b. reticular fibers

front 16

In which of these locations is dense irregular elastic connective tissue found?

back 16

d. large arteries

front 17

Which of these is NOT true of adipose tissue?

back 17

d. Brown adipose is found only in older adults.

so it is the site of energy storage, it is a type of connective tissue, it acts as a protective cushion, and it functions as a heat insulator.

front 18

Which of these types of connective tissue has the smalles amount of extracellular matrix?

back 18

a. adipose

front 19

Fibrocartilage is found

back 19

e. between vertebrae

front 20

A tissue composed of cells located in lacunae surrounded by a hard matrix of hydroxyapatite is

back 20

b. bone

front 21

Which of these characteristics apply to smooth muscle?

back 21

c. unstriated, involuntary

front 22

Which of these statements about nervous tissue is not true?

back 22

c. bipolar neurons have two axons.

so neurons have cytoplasmic extensions called axons, electrical signals are conducted along axons, neurons are nourished and protected by neuroglia, and dendrites receive electrical signals and conduct them toward the cell body.

front 23

The linings of the digestive, respiratory, excretory, and reproductive passages are composed of

back 23

b. mucous membranes.

front 24

Chemical mediators

back 24

c. initiate processes that lead to edema

front 25

Which of these types of cells are labile?

back 25

b. skin

front 26

Permanent cells

back 26

d. are usually replaced by a different cell type if they are destroyed.
