Human Anatomy Name

Yes No Epithelial tissue is comprised of cells packed together tightly.

A tract is a body space that connects to the external environment.
The lumen is the inner part of a tract, duct, or space.
Yes No Epithelial tissue can form protective barriers.
Absorption is movement of materials into the body across an epithelial surface.
Yes No Epithelial tissue may be found in glands and specialized for secretion.
Has cilia and microvilli B A. basal surface of cell
Faces lumen of duct or tube B B. apical surface of cell
Typically supported by basement membrane A
Yes No Epithelial tissue tends to be highly vascularized with capillaries running between cells.
Yes No Epithelial cells are regularly regenerated.
A Basal lamina A. Layer of basement membrane produced by epithelial cells
B Reticular lamina B. Layer of basement membrane produced by connective tissue
Squamous D A. cells change shape

Endocrine gland B A. secretions are released to external environment or space that
connects to external environment
Exocrine gland A B. secretions are released into blood

Some glands have myoepithelial cells which contract to move secretions
out of the glands.
Endothelium is the inner epithelial lining of blood vessels.
Mesothelium is the epithelial lining of the walls of body cavities and outer surface of organs.

Mucous membrane C B. epithelial membrane in skin
Serosal membrane D C. epithelial membrane lining body cavities and around organs;
secretes lubricating fluid

Visceral pleura D B. serosal membrane on surface of organs in abdominopelvic cavity
Parietal peritoneum A C. serosal membrane lining walls of chest cavity
Visceral peritoneum B D. serosal membrane on surface of lungs
Yes No Connective tissue is comprised primarily of extracellular material with few cells.
Yes No Fibers are typically elongated proteins.
Collagen fibers C A. form a network or framework
Elastic fibers B B. can stretch or compress and return to original shape
Reticular fibers A C. strong but flexible

Fibroblasts A A. lay down extracellular matrix in loose and dense connective tissue
Chondroblasts C B. lay down extracellular matrix in bone
Osteoblasts B C. lay down extracellular matrix in cartilage
Yes No Connective tissue can have defense cells such as macrophages, mast cells, and
plasma cells.
