Accepted Answer

Dense regular connective tissue; laceration

Question 3

Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is CORRECT?

Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue is organized with an apical and a basal surface, allowing for selective movement of molecules.

Question 4

Which type of glandular secretion involves the entire cell rupturing to release its product, and what is a real-life example?

Accepted Answer

Holocrine; sebaceous glands

Question 5

A tissue sample shows a single layer of tall, rectangular cells with microvilli on the apical surface. Which tissue is this, and what is its primary function?

Accepted Answer

Simple columnar epithelium; absorption and secretion

Question 6

Which connective tissue fiber type is most responsible for resisting tension and is the most abundant in the body?

Accepted Answer

Collagen

Question 7

A patient with a heart attack, a stroke, and a liver injury are all in recovery. Which organ is most likely to regain full function through tissue regeneration, and why?

Accepted Answer

Liver, because glandular epithelium has high regenerative capacity

Question 8

Which of the following best describes the sequence of events in tissue repair after injury?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation, organization, regeneration and fibrosis

Question 9

Which type of epithelial tissue is best suited for areas subject to abrasion, and where is it commonly found?

Accepted Answer

Stratified squamous; lining of mouth and esophagus

Question 10

Which of the following is a key characteristic of nervous tissue?

Accepted Answer

Excitability and conductivity for communication

Question 11

A biopsy reveals a meshwork of reticular fibers supporting immune cells. Which tissue is this, and where is it found?

Accepted Answer

Reticular connective tissue; lymph nodes and spleen

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

Mucous membrane

Question 13

Which of the following best explains why cartilage heals poorly after injury?

Accepted Answer

Cartilage lacks blood supply, so nutrients and oxygen are limited

Question 14

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the difference between simple and stratified epithelia?

Accepted Answer

Elastic connective tissue

Question 18

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

Accepted Answer

Secreting hormones into the bloodstream

Question 19

Which of the following best describes the role of stem cells in tissue repair?

Accepted Answer

Stem cells self-renew and differentiate into mature cells needed for tissue regeneration

Question 20

Which of the following best describes the composition of a serous membrane and its function?

Accepted Answer

Composed of epithelium and connective tissue; lines closed ventral body cavities and allows organs to slide
