  • Functions of epithelial tissue

    Protection, absorption, filtration, secretion, and sensory reception. It covers body surfaces and lines cavities.

  • Characteristics that distinguish epithelial tissue

    Polarity, specialized contacts, supported by connective tissue, avascular but innervated, and high regeneration capacity.

  • Difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissue

    Simple epithelium has one cell layer for absorption and filtration; stratified has multiple layers for protection.

  • Examples of endocrine and exocrine glands

    Endocrine glands secrete hormones into blood (e.g., thyroid); exocrine glands secrete onto surfaces (e.g., sweat glands).

  • Types of connective tissue proper

    Loose connective tissue (areolar, adipose, reticular) and dense connective tissue (dense regular, dense irregular, elastic).

  • Specialized connective tissues and their cells

    Cartilage (chondrocytes), bone (osteocytes), blood (erythrocytes, leukocytes).

  • Functions of connective tissue

    Support, protection, binding, insulation, and transportation of substances.

  • Types of protein fibers in connective tissue

    Collagen (strength), elastin (elasticity), reticular (supportive meshwork).

  • Role of fibroblasts in connective tissue

    Cells that produce collagen and other fibers in the extracellular matrix.

  • Three types of muscle tissue and their differences

    Skeletal (voluntary, striated), cardiac (involuntary, striated, intercalated discs), smooth (involuntary, non-striated).

  • Function of neurons

    Transmit electrical signals to communicate information throughout the body.

  • Role of glial cells

    Support, protect, and nourish neurons; maintain homeostasis in nervous tissue.

  • Types of membranes in the body

    Cutaneous (skin), mucous (line body cavities open to exterior), serous (line closed cavities; parietal and visceral layers).

  • Five layers of the epidermis

    From deep to superficial: stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum (only in thick skin), corneum.

  • Primary tissue type of the epidermis

    Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.

  • Functions of the dermis

    Support epidermis, house blood vessels, nerves, glands, and hair follicles.

  • Two layers of the dermis

    Papillary layer (areolar connective tissue) and reticular layer (dense irregular connective tissue).

  • Types of skin glands and their functions

    Sudoriferous (sweat) glands for thermoregulation; sebaceous glands secrete oil to lubricate skin and hair.

  • Process and importance of vitamin D synthesis in skin

    UV light converts 7-dehydrocholesterol in skin to vitamin D precursor; vitamin D aids calcium absorption for bone health.

  • Degrees of skin burns and their characteristics

    1st degree: epidermis only; 2nd degree: epidermis and part of dermis; 3rd degree: full thickness, may require grafts.

  • Functions of the skeletal system

    Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell production, and fat storage.

  • Four types of bone cells and their functions

    Osteoblasts (build bone), osteocytes (maintain bone), osteoclasts (resorb bone), osteogenic cells (stem cells).

  • Difference between compact and spongy bone

    Compact bone is dense and solid; spongy bone is porous and contains red marrow.

  • Intramembranous ossification

    Bone develops directly from mesenchymal tissue, mainly in flat bones like the skull.

  • Endochondral ossification

    Bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage, typical in long bones.

  • Hormones regulating bone growth and calcium homeostasis

    Growth hormone, thyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and sex hormones.

  • Classification of joints by structure

    Fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.

  • Functional classification of joints

    Synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly movable), diarthrosis (freely movable).

  • Types of synovial joint movements

    Gliding, angular (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction), rotation, and special movements.
