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 through fibrosis rather than regeneration. Which of the following is a likely consequence?

Accepted Answer

The tissue will be replaced by scar tissue, potentially losing some function

Question 3

Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is supported by connective tissue and is avascular

Question 4

Which type of connective tissue is most likely to be found in tendons and ligaments, and why?

Accepted Answer

Dense regular connective tissue, because its collagen fibers are aligned parallel to the direction of pull

Question 5

A biopsy reveals cells with abundant microvilli and goblet cells lining the small intestine. Which epithelial type is this?

Accepted Answer

Simple columnar epithelium

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Cartilage is avascular and chondrocytes lose their ability to divide with age

Question 7

Which of the following is a characteristic of cardiac muscle tissue that distinguishes it from skeletal muscle tissue?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac muscle cells are connected by intercalated discs

Question 8

A gland that releases its product by exocytosis without losing any part of the cell is classified as which type?

Accepted Answer

Merocrine

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

They detect foreign microorganisms and initiate local inflammatory responses

Question 10

Which membrane lines body cavities that are open to the exterior and is often adapted for absorption or secretion?

Accepted Answer

Mucous membrane

Question 11

A tissue sample shows cells with a single layer, all touching the basement membrane, but with nuclei at different heights and many cilia. What is the most likely tissue type?

Accepted Answer

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Question 12

Which of the following connective tissue fibers is most responsible for providing high tensile strength?

Accepted Answer

Collagen fibers

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the process of tissue repair after a nonextensive skin wound?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation sets the stage, followed by organization and then regeneration or fibrosis

Question 14

Which of the following tissues has virtually no functional regenerative capacity?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac muscle tissue

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

It reinforces the epithelial sheet and resists stretching and tearing

Question 16

Which of the following best explains why stratified squamous epithelium is found in areas subject to abrasion, such as the skin?

Accepted Answer

It provides a durable, protective barrier due to multiple cell layers

Question 17

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?

Accepted Answer

Exocrine glands secrete their products onto body surfaces or into body cavities

Question 18

Which of the following cell types is responsible for maintaining the matrix in bone tissue?

Accepted Answer

Osteocytes

Question 19

A patient with a genetic defect in the production of elastin would most likely have problems with which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Ability of arteries to stretch and recoil

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the main function of nervous tissue?

Accepted Answer

Regulating and controlling body functions through electrical signals
