FLASH CHECK

Using the KEY CHOICES below, correctly identify the following MAJOR TISSUE TYPES. Write the
appropriate answer in the space provided.

EPITHELIAL CONNECTIVE MUSCLE NERVOUS

1. Allows for movement of limbs and for organ movements within the body

2. Uses electrochemical signals to carry out its functions

3. Supports and reinforces body organs

4. Cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances

5. Basis of the major controlling system of the body

6. Its cells shorten to exert force

7. Surrounds and cushions body organs

8. Characterized by having large amounts of extracellular material

9. Allows you to smile, grasp, swim, ski, and throw a ball

10. Widely distributed, found in bones, cartilages and fat depots

Answer:

1. Muscular

2. Nervous

3. Connective

4. Epithelial

5. Nervous
6. Muscular

WORKSHEET 4 – ANIMAL TISSUE

Section B:

1. It lines the interior spaces of organs and is present on the sufaces of organs.

2. Protection, Secretion and Absorption

3. Apical Surface

4. It implies they have no blood arteries and rely on the underlying connective tissue for nutrition.

5. Simple epithelia are made up of a single layer of cells, forming a thin lining. They operate on the
principles of diffusion and absorption.

Section C: Identify which type of connective tissue is being describe.

1. Transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste through the body by traveling through
vessels called arteries and veins.

2. Is a type of dense connective tissue that connects muscles to bones and connects bone to bone.

3. Is a type of connective tissue with one of the hardest extracellular matrixes that forms a protective
structure used for muscle attachment. This type of connective tissue is formed by a cell known as an
osteocyte.

4. Is a type of loose connective tissue that separates the cells of the body from the blood stream. It is a
“go-between” for nutrients and wastes to leave and enter the blood stream on their way to and from
the bodies’ cells.

5. Is a type of dense connective tissue with irregularly arranged fibers that provides strength where
tension is exerted in various directions such as in the dermis.

Answer:

1. Circulatory System

2. Tendons

3. Bone
4. Areolar Tissue

5. Dense Irregular Tissue

SECTION D: Check the appropriate space(s) in the following table to indicate which muscle type

exhibit the listed characteristic(s). Some characteristics may have more than one

correct answer.

Characteristics Skeletal Cardiac Smooth

A Striated
B No striations
C Multinucleated
D Uninucleated
E Involuntary
F Voluntary
G Found in the walls of
hollow organs
H Attached to connective
tissue
I Found in the heart

Section E: Nervous Tissue

1. What are the two types of cells and how are they different?

Section F: Tissue Review

Identify the type of tissue from the description below.

C = connective N = nervous E = epithelial M = muscular

1. Contains large amount of extracellular matrix and possesses fibers

8. M

9. E

10 .C
