Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a primary function of epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

Transporting oxygen in the blood

Question 2

A patient presents with swelling due to fluid accumulation in the tissues after an injury. Which type of connective tissue is primarily responsible for soaking up this excess fluid during edema?

Accepted Answer

Areolar connective tissue

Question 3

Which structural feature of epithelial tissue allows it to act as a selective barrier between different body compartments?

Accepted Answer

Presence of apical and basal surfaces with specialized contacts such as tight junctions and desmosomes

Question 4

Which type of epithelial tissue is best suited for rapid diffusion and filtration, and where is it commonly found?

Accepted Answer

Simple squamous epithelium; found in lung alveoli and kidney glomeruli

Question 5

A gland that releases its product by exocytosis without damaging the cell is classified as:

Accepted Answer

Merocrine

Question 6

Which connective tissue fiber type provides the greatest tensile strength to tissues?

Accepted Answer

Collagen fibers

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the difference between 'blast' and 'cyte' cells in connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

'Blast' cells are actively dividing and synthesizing matrix; 'cyte' cells are mature and maintain the tissue.

Question 8

Which type of epithelial tissue lines the inside of the mouth and is specialized for protection against abrasion?

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous epithelium

Question 9

A tissue sample from the bladder shows cells that change shape from cuboidal to squamous as the bladder fills. What type of epithelium is this?

Accepted Answer

Transitional epithelium

Question 10

Which connective tissue type acts as a fuel reservoir, insulates the body, and supports and protects organs?

Accepted Answer

Adipose connective tissue

Question 11

Which of the following equations best represents the relationship between the number of layers and the classification of epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Simple epithelium: 1 layer}$$

Question 12

Which type of connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments and is characterized by parallel bundles of collagen fibers providing great resistance to tension?

Accepted Answer

Dense regular connective tissue

Question 13

A patient is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease affecting the synovial membranes of joints. Which type of tissue is primarily involved in this condition?

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue

Question 14

Which of the following is a function of the basement membrane in epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

Provides a boundary and structural support between epithelium and underlying connective tissue

Question 15

Which type of multicellular exocrine gland releases its product by the rupture of the entire cell?

Accepted Answer

Holocrine gland

Question 16

Which connective tissue type forms the soft internal skeleton that supports free blood cells in lymphoid organs?

Accepted Answer

Reticular connective tissue

Question 17

Which of the following best describes the organization of cells in tissues and their contribution to homeostasis?

Accepted Answer

Cells in tissues are structurally similar and perform a common, specialized function, contributing to homeostasis.

Question 18

Which type of epithelial tissue appears to be stratified but is actually a single layer with nuclei at different heights, and is commonly found lining much of the respiratory tract?

Accepted Answer

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Question 19

Which equation best represents the function of proteoglycans in connective tissue ground substance?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Proteoglycans} = 	ext{Core protein} + 	ext{Glycosaminoglycan chains}$$
