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 presents with a wound that is healing primarily by fibrosis rather than regeneration. Which of the following is the most likely consequence?

Accepted Answer

Formation of scar tissue with possible loss of function

Question 3

Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is correct?

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is supported by connective tissue and is avascular but innervated.

Question 4

A biopsy of a gland reveals that it releases its product by exocytosis without damaging the secretory cells. Which type of gland is this?

Accepted Answer

Merocrine gland

Question 5

Which connective tissue fiber type is most responsible for providing high tensile strength to tendons?

Accepted Answer

Collagen fibers

Question 6

A histological section shows a single layer of tall, closely packed cells with microvilli and goblet cells. Where is this tissue most likely found?

Accepted Answer

Small intestine mucosa

Question 7

Which of the following best explains why cartilage injuries heal slowly in adults?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage is avascular and relies on diffusion for nutrient supply.

Question 8

A tissue sample is composed of multiple layers of cells, with the apical layer being flat and scale-like. What is the most likely function of this tissue?

Accepted Answer

Protection against abrasion

Question 9

Which of the following is a key difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?

Accepted Answer

Endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream; exocrine glands secrete products onto body surfaces or into cavities.

Question 10

Which of the following best describes the role of mast cells in connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

They detect foreign microorganisms and initiate inflammation.

Question 11

A patient with a heart attack suffers permanent loss of cardiac muscle tissue. Which property of cardiac muscle explains this outcome?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac muscle has virtually no functional regenerative capacity.

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the structure and function of the basement membrane in epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

It consists of basal and reticular laminae, reinforcing the epithelial sheet and resisting stretching.

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct pairing of connective tissue type and its primary function?

Accepted Answer

Areolar tissue – universal packing material between other tissues

Question 14

A tissue sample from the urinary bladder shows cells that change shape when stretched. Which type of epithelium is this?

Accepted Answer

Transitional epithelium

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the difference between simple and stratified epithelia?

Accepted Answer

Simple epithelia consist of a single cell layer; stratified epithelia have two or more layers.

Question 16

Which of the following is a function of the serous membrane?

Accepted Answer

Reducing friction between organs in closed body cavities

Question 17

A patient with a genetic defect in collagen synthesis would most likely have problems with which tissue type?

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue

Question 18

Which of the following best explains why skin is classified as a cutaneous membrane?

Accepted Answer

It is a dry membrane consisting of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium attached to connective tissue.

Question 19

Which embryonic germ layer gives rise to nervous tissue?

Accepted Answer

Ectoderm

Question 20

A patient with a severe burn loses the ability to sense pain and temperature in the affected area. Which tissue type is most likely damaged?

Accepted Answer

Nervous tissue
