1. Understanding tissue structure and function is important because:

a. There is a relationship between the structure of each tissue type (how it is organized) and its function
(what it does).

b. There is a relationship between tissue structure and organ function.

c. Many diseases and pathologies are tissue and cell type specific.

d. Changes at the tissue level affect the function of organs.

e. All of these are correct.

f. All are correct except option C.

ANSWER: E

2. Which of these is NOT one of the four basic tissue types?

a. glandular

b. connective

c. muscle

d. epithelium

e. nervous

ANSWER: A

3. All are true statement about epithelial tissue: (Select all that apply)

a. Epithelial tissue is vascular.

b. Epithelial tissue provides physical protection for organs.

c. Epithelial tissue functions in absorption & secretion.

d. Epithelial tissue controls the permeability into and out of an area/organ.

e. Epithelial tissue consists almost entirely of extracellular material between them thereby forming a
barrier against entry into the body.

ANSWER: B,C & D

4. Basement membranes:

a. function as a filter and barrier to cell or pathogen movement

b. attach epithelial cells to the underlying tissue

c. are secreted partially by epithelial cells and partially by the cells of the underlying tissue.

d. function as a filter and barrier to cell or pathogen movement, attach epithelial cells to the underlying
tissue and are secreted partially by epithelial cells and partially by the cells of the underlying tissue are
true of basement membranes.

e. None of these is correct.

ANSWER: D

5. The most correct classification of an epithelial tissue consisting of many layers of cells, in which the
outer layers are flat and thin, and the basal layers are cuboidal or columnar is:

a. simple columnar epithelium.

b. pseudostratified epithelium.

c. stratified squamous epithelium.

d. transitional epithelium.

e. simple squamous epithelium.

ANSWER: A

6. Epithelial cells:

a. cover body surfaces or form glands.

b. usually have a free surface that is not in contact with other cells.

c. have a basement membrane that attaches to underlying tissues.

d. can be somewhat far away from a blood vessel.

e. have all of these properties.

ANSWER: E
7. Epithelial cells that appear cube like when an organ is relaxed and flattened when the organ is
distended by fluid are classified as:

ANSWER: D

8. Epithelium that consists of a single layer of cells, in which some cells are tall and thin and reach the

free surface and others do not, is classified as:

a. simple columnar epithelium

b. pseudostratified columnar epithelium

b. a single layer of relatively flat, thin cells

c. multiple layers of cuboidal cells

d. a single layer of cuboidal cells

e. multiple layers of columnar cell

ANSWER: B
