Q: Which formula best represents the relationship between tissue repair and regeneration capacity?

$\text{Regeneration Capacity} = \frac{\text{Number of Stem Cells}}{\text{Degree of Specialization}}$

Q: Which equation best describes the rate of diffusion across simple squamous epithelium?

$\text{Rate} = \frac{D \times A \times (C_1 - C_2)}{d}$

Question 1

Which of the following best describes the main function of simple squamous epithelium in the alveoli of the lungs?

Accepted Answer

Rapid diffusion of gases

Question 2

A patient has damage to the endothelium lining their blood vessels. Which tissue type is primarily affected?

Accepted Answer

Simple squamous epithelium

Question 3

Which of the following is TRUE regarding epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

It is avascular but innervated, relying on diffusion from underlying connective tissue.

Question 4

Which type of epithelial tissue is best suited for areas subject to abrasion, such as the skin surface?

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous epithelium

Question 5

Which of the following is a function of goblet cells found in some epithelial tissues?

Accepted Answer

Secretion of mucus

Question 6

A gland that releases its product by exocytosis without altering the secretory cell is classified as which type?

Accepted Answer

Merocrine gland

Question 7

Which body membrane is described as a dry membrane composed of stratified squamous epithelium attached to a thick layer of connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

Cutaneous membrane (skin)

Question 8

Which tissue type is primarily responsible for forming boundaries between different environments and is involved in absorption, secretion, and filtration?

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why epithelial tissue must be nourished by diffusion from underlying connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is avascular and lacks blood vessels.

Question 10

Which of the following is a correct pairing of membrane type and its location?

Accepted Answer

Serous membrane – lines internal body cavity walls and covers organs

Question 11

A patient with a bladder disorder is found to have abnormal stretching of the lining tissue. Which epithelial type is most likely affected?

Accepted Answer

Transitional epithelium

Question 12

Which connective tissue is considered atypical because it is fluid and consists of cells surrounded by a matrix called plasma?

Accepted Answer

Blood

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the process of tissue repair by regeneration?

Accepted Answer

The same kind of tissue replaces destroyed tissue, restoring original function.

Question 14

Which of the following tissues has virtually no functional regenerative capacity?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue of brain and spinal cord

Question 15

Which of the following is a correct sequence of events in tissue repair after injury?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation, organization, regeneration

Question 16

Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs other than the heart?

Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle

Question 17

Which of the following is a function of nervous tissue?

Accepted Answer

Internal communication and control of body functions

Question 18

Which formula best represents the relationship between tissue repair and regeneration capacity?

Accepted Answer

$	ext{Regeneration Capacity} = \frac{	ext{Number of Stem Cells}}{	ext{Degree of Specialization}}$

Question 19

Which of the following best explains why serous membranes are moist?

Accepted Answer

They secrete a lubricating fluid into the cavity between their layers.

Question 20

Which equation best describes the rate of diffusion across simple squamous epithelium?

Accepted Answer

$	ext{Rate} = \frac{D 	imes A 	imes (C_1 - C_2)}{d}$
