Indicate which primary tissue classes derive from each embryonic germ layer

Use the key to classify each of the following described tissue types into one of the four major tissue categories. Key: (a) connective tissue (c) muscle (b) epithelium (d) nervous tissue ____ (1) Tissue type composed largely of nonliving extracellular matrix; important in protection and support ____ (2) The tissue immediately responsible for body movement ____ (3) The tissue that enables us to be aware of the external environment and to react to it ____ (4) The tissue that lines body cavities and covers surfaces

An epithelium that has several layers, with an apical layer of flattened cells, is called (choose all that apply): (a) ciliated, (b) columnar, (c) stratified, (d) simple, (e) squamous.

Match the epithelial types named in column B with the appropriate description(s) in column A. Column A ____ (1) Lines most of the digestive tract ____ (2) Lines the esophagus ____ (3) Lines much of the respiratory tract ____ (4) Forms the walls of the air sacs of the lungs ____ (5) Found in urinary tract organs ____ (6) Endothelium and mesothelium Column B (a) pseudostratified ciliated columnar (b) simple columnar (c) simple cuboidal (d) simple squamous (e) stratified Columnar

The gland type that secretes products such as milk, saliva, bile, or sweat through a duct is (a) an endocrine gland, (b) an exocrine gland.

The membrane which lines body cavities that open to the exterior is a(n) (a) endothelium, (b) cutaneous membrane, (c) mucous membrane, (d) serous membrane.

Scar tissue is a variety of (a) epithelium, (b) connective tissue, (c) muscle tissue, (d) nervous tissue, (e) all of these.

Define tissue.

Name four important functions of epithelial tissue and provide at least one example of a tissue that exemplifies each function.

Describe the criteria used to classify covering and lining epithelia.

Explain the functional classification of multicellular exocrine glands and supply an example for each class.

Provide examples from the body that illustrate four of the major functions of connective tissue.

Name the primary cell type in connective tissue proper; in cartilage; in bone.

Name the two major components of matrix and, if applicable, subclasses of each component.

Matrix is extracellular. How does the matrix get to its characteristic position?

Name the specific connective tissue type found in the following body locations: (a) forming the soft packing around organs, (b) supporting the ear pinna, (c) forming stretchy ligaments, (d) first connective tissue in the embryo, (e) forming the intervertebral discs, (f) covering the ends of bones at joint surfaces, (g) main component of subcutaneous tissue.

What is the function of macrophages?

Differentiate between the roles of neurons and the supporting cells of nervous tissue.

Compare and contrast skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue relative to structure, body location, and specific function.

Describe the process of tissue repair, making sure you indicate factors that influence this process.
