Question 1

Which of the following best describes the function of simple squamous epithelial tissue in the lungs?

Accepted Answer

It allows for rapid gas exchange due to its thin, flat cells.

Question 2

A patient has damage to the serous membrane lining the wall of their thoracic cavity. Which specific layer is affected?

Accepted Answer

Parietal layer

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a function of connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

Producing voluntary movement

Question 4

Which type of epithelial tissue is best suited for areas of the body that experience stretching, such as the urinary bladder?

Accepted Answer

Transitional epithelium

Question 5

A histology slide shows a tissue with multiple layers of flat cells. Which type of epithelial tissue is this?

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous

Question 6

Which of the following best explains why cartilage heals more slowly than other tissues?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage lacks blood vessels, so nutrients and cells for repair arrive slowly.

Question 7

Which membrane type lines body cavities that open to the outside environment, such as the digestive and respiratory tracts?

Accepted Answer

Mucous membrane

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

Cartilage – provides flexible support and reduces friction between bones

Question 9

A tissue sample is composed of a single layer of tall, rectangular cells. Which type of epithelial tissue is this?

Accepted Answer

Simple columnar

Question 10

Which of the following equations best represents the relationship between the number of cell layers ($$n) $$and the ability of epithelial tissue to allow for rapid diffusion ($$D$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$D \propto \frac{1}{n}$$

Question 11

Which of the following statements about the cutaneous membrane is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

It is the main organ of the integumentary system.

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

Connective tissue

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the function of the parietal layer of a serous membrane?

Accepted Answer

It lines the walls of body cavities and produces serous fluid to reduce friction.

Question 14

Which of the following is a unique feature of transitional epithelium?

Accepted Answer

It can stretch and change shape depending on the degree of organ distension.

Question 15

Which of the following best explains why blood is classified as a connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

It contains specialized cells suspended in a liquid extracellular matrix.

Question 16

A tissue sample from the trachea shows cells that appear to be in multiple layers, but all cells touch the basement membrane. What is this tissue called?

Accepted Answer

Pseudostratified columnar

Question 17

Which of the following best describes the role of the extracellular matrix in connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

It gives connective tissue its structural properties and supports embedded cells.

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct real-life example of the function of mucous membranes?

Accepted Answer

They line the respiratory tract and trap dust and pathogens in inhaled air.

Question 19

Which of the following best explains why bone is harder than cartilage?

Accepted Answer

Bone matrix contains more calcium and phosphate minerals.

Question 20

If a tissue is described as having cells embedded in a gelatinous matrix and providing flexible support, which tissue is being described?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage
