front 1 Which one of the following is not one of the four main tissue categories?
| back 1 Osseous tissue |
front 2 Functions of epithelia include all of the following except
| back 2 Supporting Muscle Cells |
front 3 Epithelial cells that are adapted for absorption usually have ________ at their free surface. | back 3 microvilli |
front 4 A type of intercellular junction that stops materials from crossing an epithelium between cells is called a(n) | back 4 tight junction. |
front 5 Dead skin cells are shed in thin sheets because they are held together by "spots" of proteoglycan reinforced by intermediate filaments. Such strong intercellular connections are called | back 5 desmosomes |
front 6 Epithelial cells exhibit modifications that adapt them for | back 6 secretion |
front 7 Epithelium is connected to underlying connective tissue by | back 7 a basement membrane. |
front 8 Epithelia specialized for providing sensations of smell, taste, sight, equilibrium, and hearing are known as | back 8 neuroepithelia |
front 9 Transitional epithelium is found | back 9 lining the urinary bladder. |
front 10 The heart and blood vessels are lined by ________ epithelium. | back 10 simple squamous |
front 11 You would find pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining the | back 11 trachea |
front 12 Secretions through a duct might provide ________, whereas ductless secretions act as ________. | back 12 enzymes; hormones |
front 13 The function of simple cuboidal epithelium is | back 13 absorption and secretion. |
front 14 The pancreas produces ________ secretions. | back 14 exocrine and endocrine |
front 15 Which of the following connective tissue cells produces collagen? | back 15 fibroblasts |
front 16 The color distinction between white fat and brown fat exists because brown fat | back 16 is highly vascular. |
front 17 Cells that engulf bacteria or cell debris within loose connective tissue are | back 17 macrophages |
front 18 Cells that respond to injury by dividing to assist in connective tissue repair are | back 18 mesenchymal cells. |
front 19 Tissue that is specialized for the conduction of electrical impulses is ________ tissue. | back 19 neural |
front 20 During an inflammatory response to injury, which of the following is the least likely in the region of the injury?
| back 20 Cold, pale skin |
front 21 The body's first tissue response to any injury is | back 21 inflammation. |
front 22 During the inflammatory process, blood vessels dilate. What does this accomplish? | back 22 It allows for increased blood flow for delivery of nutrients, oxygen, and defense cells and proteins and for the removal of waste products and debris from the site of injury. |
