What are the four essential functions of epithelial tissue?

List three basic components of connective tissues.

What two cell populations make up nervous tissue? What is the function of each?

Describe the fluid connective tissues in the human body. What are the main differences between fluid connective tissues and supporting connective tissues?

(a) Interfacial canals

(b) The basement membrane

Why does damaged cartilage heal slowly?

(a) Chondrocytes cannot be replaced if killed, and other cell types must take their place.

(b) Cartilage is avascular, so nutrients and other molecules must diffuse to the site of injury.

(c) Damaged cartilage becomes calcified, thus blocking the movement of materials required for healing.

(d) Chondrocytes divide more slowly than other cell types, delaying the healing process.

(e) Damaged collagen cannot be quickly replaced, thereby slowing the healing process.

List the similarities and differences among the three types of muscle tissue.

During a lab practical, a student examines a tissue that is composed of densely packed protein fibers that run parallel to each other and form a cord. There are no striations, but small nuclei are visible. The student identifies the tissue as skeletal muscle. Why is the student's choice wrong, and what tissue is he probably observing?
