1. Name 4 types of tissue - Correct Answer: 1. Epithelium
2. Connective
3. Muscle
4. Nervous
2. Name the 5 types of Epithelium: - Correct Answer: 1. Simple Squamous Epithelium
2. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
3. Simple Columnar Epithelium
4. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
5. Stratified Squamous Epithelium
3. Describe Simple Squamous: - Correct Answer: Look like fried eggs. Found in air sacs of
lungs.
FUNCTION: Lining of air sacs, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels.
4. Describe Simple Cuboidal: - Correct Answer: Looks like cubes. Found in ducts, cover
ovaries, line kidney tubules. FUNCTION: Secrete
,5. Describe Simple Columnar: - Correct Answer: Single layer of elongated cells. Found in
uterus, stomach, intestines (digestive tract) FUNCTION: Breaking down & absorption.
6. Describe Pseudostratified: - Correct Answer: (False-covered) Also a single layer of
elongated cells; appear stratified or layered b/c nuclei are located at different levels. Found in
trachea, respiratory passageways. FUNCTION: Secretions
7. Describe Stratified Squamous: - Correct Answer: Many cell layers, outer layer of skin.
Found in oral cavity, vagina and anal canal. FUNCTION: Protection.
8. ADJUSTMENT KNOB: - Correct Answer: Causes stage to move upward or downward
9. ARM: - Correct Answer: Serves as a handle for carrying the microscope
10. CONDENSER: - Correct Answer: Concentrates light on the specimen
11. EYEPIECE: (OCULAR) - Correct Answer: Contains a lens at the top of the body tube
12. FIELD OF VIEW: - Correct Answer: Circular area see through the eyepiece
13. IRIS DIAPHRAGM: - Correct Answer: Increases or decreases the light intensity.
14. NOSEPIECE: - Correct Answer: Part to which the objective lenses are attached.
15. OBJECTIVE LENS SYSTEM: - Correct Answer: After light passes through the specimen, it
next enters this lens system.
,16. STAGE: - Correct Answer: Platform that supports the microscope slide.
17. STAGE CLIP: - Correct Answer: Holds a microscope slide in position.
18. 9 Body Regions: - Correct Answer: Right Hypochondriac-Epigastric-Left Hypochondriac
Right Lumbar-Umbilical-Left Lumbar
Right Iliac-Hypogastric-Left Iliac
19. Body Cavities: - Correct Answer: 1. Thoracic cavity
2. Abdominal cavity
3. Abdominopelvic cavity
4. Pelvic cavity
5. Cranial cavity
6. Vertebral cavity
20. Thoracic Membranes & Cavities for the LUNGS: - Correct Answer: 1. Parietal pleura
(outer, lines cavity wall)
2. Visceral pleura (inner, covers lung organ)
3. Pleural Cavity (fluid between the 2 above)
21. Thoracic Membranes & Cavities for the HEART: - Correct Answer: 1. Parietal pericardium
(outer, lines cavity wall)
2. Visceral pericardium (inner, covers heart organ)
3. Pericardial Cavity (fluid between the 2 above)
, 22. Abdominal Membranes & Cavities: - Correct Answer: 1. Visceral peritoneum (inner,
covers organs)
2. Peritoneal cavity (fluid between these 1&3)
3. Parietal peritoneum (outer, lines cavity wall)
23. Difference between mitosis & cytokinesis: - Correct Answer: Mitosis produces 2
daughter cells from an original cell. Cytokinesis is cytoplasmic division.
24. Name the stages of mitosis: - Correct Answer: 1. Prophase (black hairy blob in middle of
cell)
2. Metaphase (chromosomes align at cell equator)
3. Anaphase (sister chromatids pull apart/away from each other)
4. Telophase (looks like number 8; beginning to divide into two daughter cells)
25. Label the 4 structures in the dividing cell: - Correct Answer: 1. Chromatid (swimming
noodles)
2. Kinetochore (ball between swim noodles)
3. Centriole (end piece macaroni)
4. Spindle fiber (long strands)
26. Frontal or coronal plane: - Correct Answer: divides anterior and posterior
27. Sagittal (median; midsagittal) plane: - Correct Answer: divides an equal left and right
28. Parasagittal plane: - Correct Answer: divides an unequal left and right.
29. Transverse plane: - Correct Answer: horizontal; divides superior and inferior
