-Microvilli 2. Adult cell types you might expect to have gap junctions included. -Heart muscle 3. A cell with abundant peroxisomes would most likely be involved in -Increasing the efficiency of absorption 4. A cell stimulated to increase its steroid production will have abundant -Smooth ER 5. In which of the following tissue types might you expect to find goblet cells? -Simple Columnar 6. Which of the following terms describe cardiac muscle? -Intercalated Disks 7. Although cells have a differences that reflect their special function in the body, what functional abilities do all cells exhibit? -All cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a plasma membrane 8. What is the role of the spindle in mitosis? -The spindle provides a scaffolding for the attachment and movement of the chromosomes during the later mitotic stages. 9. Describe the relative roles of DNA and RNA in protein synthesis. -DNA provides genetic information for the RNA to decode for protein synthesis. 10. Define mitosis. Why is mitosis important? -Mitosis is the division of the cell nucleus, often followed by the division of cytoplasm of a cell. It is important because it allows cells to replace themselves. 11. Liquid connective tissue. -Blood 12. Define tissue. List the our major types of tissue. Which of these types is most widely distributed in the body? -Tissue: groups of cells that are similar in structure & function. Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous. Most widely attributed: Connective
