Classification of Tissues: Week 2: Day 3 LM# 6
2. Use the key choices to identify the major tissue types described below. (Some choices may be used
more than once)
Key:
Connective Epithelium Muscular Nervous
EPITHELIUM 1. Lines body cavities and covers the body’s external surface
MUSCULAR 2. Pumps blood, flushes urine out of the body, allows one to swing a bat
NERVOUS 3. Transmit waves of excitation
CONNECTIVE 4. Anchors and packages body organs
EEPITHELIUM 5. Cells may absorb, protect, or form a filtering membrane
NERVOUS 6. Most involved in regulating body functions quickly
MUSCULAR 7. Major function is to contract
CONNECTIVE 8. The most durable tissue type
CONNECTIVE 9. Abundant nonliving extracellular matrix
NERVOUS 10. Forms nerves
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
3. On what bases are epithelial tissues classified?
THE CELL SHAPE AND THE NUMBER OF CELL LAYERS
6. Transitional epithelium is actually stratified squamous epithelium, but there is something special
about it. How does it differ structurally from other stratified squamous epithelia?
THE CELLS CHANGE SHAPE TO ALLOW STRETCHING, WHICH ARE ONLY IN THE BLADDER
7. How does this structural differences reflect its function in the body?
IT ALLOWS FOR SMOOTH MOVEMENT BETWEEN CELLS ALLOWING FOR STRETCHIING TO TAKE PLACE.
9. Use the key choices to respond to the following. (Some choices may be used more than once.)
Key:
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar Simple columnar Simple cuboidal
Simple squamous Stratified squamous transitional
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
10. What are the components of the matrix in connective tissues?
AMORPHOUS GROUND SUBSTRANCE,ESTRACELLULAR FLUID, AND COLLAGEN AND ELASTIC FIBERS
11. How are the functions of connective tissue reflected in its structure?
THROUGH THE PRESENCE OF MATRIX THAT PROVIDES SUPPORT,PROTECTION, AND STORAGE, AS WELL AS THE
INCLUSION OF BLOOD VESSELS AND IMMUNE CELLS FOR TRANSPORT AND THE PRESENCE OF CELLS THAT CAN
REPAIR AND REGENERATE DAMAGED TISSUES.
12. Using the key, choose the best response to identify the connective tissues described below.
Key:
ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
DENSE FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
HYALINE CARTILAGE
OSSEOUS TISSUE
FIBROCARTILAGE
BLOOD
MUSCLE TISSUE
13. The terms and phrases in the key relate to the muscle tissues. For each of the three muscle tissues,
select the terms or phrases that characterize it, and write the corresponding letter of each term on he
answer line.
Key:
a. striated c. spindle shaped cells
b. branching cells d. Cylindrical cells
e. active during birth
f. voluntary
g. involuntary
h. one nucleus
i. many nuclei
j. forms heart walls
k. attached to bones
l. intercalated discs
m. in wall of bladder and stomach
n. moves limbs, produces smiles
o. arranged in sheets
NERVOUS TISSUE
14. In what ways are neurons similar to other cells?
THEY CONTAIN A NUCLEUS THAT HOLDS GENETIC INFORMATION
135 Draw the different types of tissue and write the name of each tissue and label it. Indicate the
following a. definition b. location c. function in a bond paper then take a picture: Paste the picture of
your drawing inside the box.
