QUIZ

1. Define the following and provide examples of each:

  DEFINITION EXAMPLE

Tissue - Tissues are group of cells that - Epithelial tissue, Connective

  are similar in structure and tissue, Muscle tissue ,nervous tissue
function

organ  -A collection of tissues that - Heart, lungs, liver, eyes, and
  structurally form a functional unit stomach
specialized to perform a particular
function.

organ - a group of organs that work - Skeletal system, circulatory

system together to perform a certain system, and digestive system
function in the body.

3) The four major types of tissues are:

1. Epithelial tissue 2. Connective tissue  3. Muscle tissue    4. Nervous tissue

Circle or highlight the correct answer (s) or fill in the blanks when required.

1. A tissue is: a collection of nuclei / a collection of organelles /a collection of cells /

a collection of organs.

2. The four major tissue types are: Epithelial / fat / connective / bone / muscle /
nervous / blood.

3. Epidermal tissue: protects and supports the body / covers body surfaces / is
responsible for movement / lines hollow organs / transmits nerve impulses /
forms glands.

4. Epithelial cells line the surfaces of the body as well as line the internal organs.
Epithelial tissue cells make ______________ connections between adjoining cell
together, so they form a sight junction.

5. The tissue illustrated here is: simple (squamous) or skin epithelia / columnar
epithelia / skeletal muscle/ adipose tissue/ blood tissue
 6. The lining of the trachea where the air passes is covered with: simple epithelium /
cardiac muscle/ columnar epithelium? CILIA

7. Cilia are tiny finger-like projections covering some cells that sweep back and
forth to move materials.  Where is ciliated columnar epithelium NOT found : in
the capillaries / lining the fallopian tubes / lining the trachea and lungs/ lining the
small intestine?

8. Columnar epithelia: are made of columns of cells / line the stomach and glands /
may secrete mucus/ absorb materials (example take nutrients from intestine into
the bloodstream)

9. The tissue illustrated here is: simple (squamous) epithelium / columnar

epithelium/smooth muscle

10. Which of the following are found in connective tissue?:cells / fibres /

CaPO4minerals / fluid matrix / cilia.

11. Connective tissue connects cells and tissues.  It consists of cells that connect to
other cells or connect organs to other organs.  Examples include loose
connectivetissue,dense irregular connective tissue (or adipose tissue) and dense
regular connective tissue.

12. Which of the following are NOTconnective tissues: blood /fingernails / ligaments /

bone / saliva / adipose tissue / cartilage?

13. Muscle tissues are designed to change their shape.  A muscle cell is 6 to 7
inches long.  They are in one of two states, either they contract and are become
small or relax are become large.

14. Skeletal muscle (or voluntary muscle) attaches to bone making it possible for the
body to move.

15. For smooth muscle (or involuntary muscle) you have no control over its
movement.  It can be found in the intestines/ the stomach/ the heart/ the iris of
the eye/ walls of blood vessels;esophagus/ trachea

16. Smooth muscle does not have the little lines in it (called striations).
CardiacMuscle makes up the heart and striations or branches go across the cell
and not along the length of it as in striated muscle.  
 17. The muscle tissue illustrated here is: skeletal muscle / smooth muscle / cardiac
muscle

Nervous tissue is made of cells called nerve cells  that transmit impulse from the
brain or spinal cord to the muscle or gland or detect information from the sensory
receptor (like heat) to trigger a synapse like a reflex. (Examples: a reflex or
release of insulin from the pancreas after a meal.)

19. Match the tissue type with the function.

Tissue type Function

B a. Connective Tissue  A. Communicating

B. Supporting &
C b. Muscle Tissue 
transporting

D c. Epithelial Tissue  C. Contracting

A d. Nervous Tissue  D. Covering and lining
