Connective tissue covers body surfaces and lines internal cavities. Squamous tissue consists of flat, thin epithelial cells. Endocrine glands secrete hormones. Fibroblast cells associated with loose connective tissue secrete a matrix material containing collagen fibers. Platelets are red blood cells that carry oxygen.

Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is/are TRUE? Cuboidal epithelial cells are fragile, flat and scale-shaped, and specialized for the diffusion of small molecules. A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach. A stratified squamous epithelium is found where mechanical stresses are severe. Epithelial tissue continually repairs and renews itself. The transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder permits the frequent distension and recoil.
All of the following are characteristics of epithelial tissue EXCEPT: contains matrix avascularity covers or lines structures forms glands The aponeuroses seen in the anterior abdominal wall need to withstand forces of tension mainly in one direction. On the other hand, the tissue surrounding joints are likely to experience tension in multiple planes. What tissue would you expect to find in the joints? : Dense regular connective tissue Areolar connective tissue Dense irregular connective tissue Reticular connective tissue
Consider the four types of tissues in the human body. Imagine that you discovered an alien life form (very similar to humans) that didn't have one of the types of tissues (you choose which one that alien doesn't have). Explain how the functioning of that alien would be different from a human (that has all four types of tissues). Writing an answer to a constructed response question should contain the following parts: 1. Claim- this is your answer to the question (written in a complete sentence, using part of the question re-written as part of your answer). 2. Evidence. In the second part of your answer, you write details (from the lesson, class notes etc.) that support your answer. 3. Reasoning- this is a summary statement tying the evidence to your answer (to your claim). Why is what you wrote true?
Which of the following characteristics is common of epithelial cells? Has a basal surface that faces the internal or external environment. Is supported by a deeper neural tissue. Possess a large amount of fibers in the extracellular matrix. Often plays a role in secretion. Cells are often separated by ground substance.

Fill the blanks with appropriate terms, focusing on Epithelial and Muscular Tissues. It is estimated that the human body has 32, 000, 000, 000, 000 trillion cells. The common goal of working cells/tissues is to maintain homeostasis (the process of maintenance and regulation of our bodies). There are four major types of tissues namely: epithelial, muscular, connective, and nervous. Epithelial tissue is consist of two groups: ___1___ (covering epithelia) and ___2___ (also known as secretory epithelia). This tissue does not have a blood supply known as _3__. Epithelial tissue shape are squamous, columnar and cuboidal. According to arrangement it is classified into simple and stratified. Portion of kidney x-section is made of _4__ epithelium. Stratified cuboidal epithelium are found in _5__ and lining larger tubules. In the innermost layer of artery wall we can see _6__ epithelium. Lining of oral cavity is made of _7_. Large exocrine glands and anorectal…

Tissues in a pork chop, make a simple sketch and label the tissues. The bone is a connective layer and supportive tissue the, the lean meat is mostly made up of muscular tissue, the fat is another type of tissue, the white translucent plastic-like material that connects the bone to the lean meat, the lean meatto the fat and the fat to the skin is another type of connective and supportive tissue called the fibrous tissue. plssss help me sketch this and put the labels, thank you.
