Histology is __________. the study of the normal function of tissues the study of the normal function of cells the study of normal structure of tissues the study of the normal structure of cells

As you examine a slide under the microscope, you see pink wavy lines. You identify them as __________. ground substance red blood cells nuclei collagen fibers

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 __________. nervous tissue epithelial tissue connective tissue muscle tissue

What general tissue type binds, supports, and protects the body? nervous muscle connective epithelial

Which statement best describes epithelial tissue? Simple epithelia are commonly found in areas of high mechanical abrasion. Stratified epithelia are associated with diffusion, osmosis, and filtration. Pseudostratified epithelia are commonly keratinized. Paracellular or transcellular transport moves substances across simple epithelia.

Where is simple columnar epithelium located? lining of the small intestine lining of the nasal cavity lining the esophagus forming the air sacs of the lungs

Simple cuboidal epithelium is built for: distensibility. prevention of water loss through the skin. protection from mechanical stresses. absorption or secretion.

Simple squamous epithelium is found lining the: uterine tubes of a female. air sacs of the lungs. nasal cavity. urinary bladder.

Glands, such as the thyroid, that secrete their products directly into the blood rather than through ducts are classified as: ceruminous. sebaceous. endocrine. exocrine.

You are observing a tissue under the microscope and notice dark concentric circles of matrix and osteocytes in lacunae. You identify this tissue as cartilage adipose tissue bone tissue loose connective tissue

What type of blood cell transports oxygen throughout the body? erythrocyte leukocyte osteoblast platelet

The type of muscle tissue composed of long, cylindrical, striated, multinucleate cells, arranged parallel to each other is __________. skeletal muscle smooth muscle cardiac muscle nervous tissue

What do skeletal and cardiac muscle cells share in common? multinucleate cells intercalated discs situated between cells branched cells striations

The supportive cells of nervous tissue are called __________. neuroglial cells adipocytes neurons fibroblasts

A serous membrane contains a superficial layer of epithelial tissue and a deeper layer of connective tissue. Thus, serous membranes are classified as: tissues. amitotic. avascular. organs.

What lubricates movable joints such as the hip, knee, and elbow? synovial fluid serous fluid saliva mucus

Fibrosis results in the formation of a type of: dense regular collagenous connective tissue. loose connective tissue. dense irregular connective tissue. adipose tissue.

The wall of the alveolus (air sac) in the lung is composed of which type of epithelium simple columnar epithelium simple squamous epithelium transitional epithelium

The epithelium of the esophagus is composed of which type of epithelial tissue? stratified squamous epithelium keratinized stratified squamous epithelium simple columnar epithelium

Which part of the neuron (a specialized nerve cell) receives signals from other cells and is also the main metabolic region of the neuron? soma dendrites axon
