Each of the following is a primary tissue type except one. Identify the exception.

(A) Muscle tissue
(B) Nervous tissue
(C) Bone tissue
(D) Connective tissue

Show Answer

ANSWER : C

Bone is made up of compact tissue (the hard, outer layer) and cancellous tissue (the spongy, inner layer that contains red marrow). Bone tissue is maintained by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break down bone called osteoclasts.

Epithelial cells that are adapted for absorption or secretion usually have a structure at their free surface.

(A) Many mitochondria
(B) Nuclei
(C) Microvilli
(D) Golgi complexes

Show Answer

ANSWER : C

The basic shapes of epithelial cells include all but which of the following?

(A) Simple squamous
(B) Stratified squamous
(C) Simple cuboidal.

Show Answer

ANSWER : A

The type of epithelium found where absorption or secretion takes place and is found in the kidney tubules is

(A) simple squamous
(B) simple cuboidal
(C) stratified squamous
(D) Pseudostratified squamous

Show Answer

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium can be found

(A) At the surface of the skin
(B) Lining the trachea
(C) Lining blood vessels
(D) Lining the ovaries

Show Answer

ANSWER : D

(A) Lining the urinary bladder
(B) Lining the ducts that drain sweat glands
(C) Lining kidney tubules
(D) Lining the stomach

(A) Collagen
(B) Elastic
(C) Actin
(D) Cartilage

Show Answer

ANSWER : A

The muscle that is located in the walls of hollow internal organs is

(A) Skeletal muscle
(B) Smooth muscle
(C) Cardiac muscle
(D) Voluntary muscle

Show Answer

ANSWER : B

Skeletal muscle differs from the other two types of muscle tissue in that skeletal muscle

(A) Has visible striations
(B) Has only one nucleus per cell
(C) Is the only muscle tissue controlled voluntarily
(D) Contains actin and myosin filaments

Show Answer

ANSWER : C

Close examination of an organ reveals a lining of several layers of cells. The layers are avascular and can regenerate well. One surface of the cells is open to the internal cavity of the organ and protection and absorption are its functions. This tissue is probably

(A) Epithelium
(B) Muscle
(C) Nervous
(D) Cconnective tissue

Show Answer

ANSWER : A

If the lining of an organ produces and releases mucus, which of the following cells would likely be found in the tissue lining the organ?

(A) Goblet cells
(B) Mast cells
(C) Macrophages
(D) Fibroblasts

Show Answer

ANSWER : A

Name the tissues which detect changes inside and outside the body and respond by action potential?

(A) Epithelial tissue
(B) Connective tissue
(C) Muscular tissue
(D) Nervous tissue

Show Answer

ANSWER : D

Nervous tissue helps in maintaining homeostasis by detecting changes inside and outside the body and providing response in the form of nerve impulse or action potential.

Which of the following does not belong to the class of covering and lining epithelium?

(A) Simple squamous epithelium
(B) Glandular epithelium
(C) Simple cuboidal
(D) Simple columnar

Show Answer

ANSWER : B
