EXAMINATION TEST 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Connective. Answer: Function: Bind, support, protect, fill spaces,
store fat, produce blood cells
Location: widely distributed throughout body
Description: mostly have good blood supply; cells are farther apart
than epithelial cells with extracellular matrix in between
◉ Muscle. Answer: Function:movement
Location: attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs,
heart
Description: able to contract in response to specific stimuli
◉ Nervous. Answer: Function:conduct impulses for coordination,
regulation, integration, and sensory reception
Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Description:cells communicate with each other and other body parts
◉ ID Epithelial Types. Answer: Number of layers(first) Shape of
cell(last)
,Layers: simple (single) stratified ( two or more)
Shape: squamous(thin flattened) cuboidal (cube-shaped)
columnar(elongated)
◉ Simple Squamous Epithelium. Answer: Description:single layer of
thin, flattened cells
tightly together (floor tiles),broad and thin nuclei , easily damaged
Function:site of diffusion and filtration osmosis covers surface
location:lines airs sac(alveoli) (O2 and CO2 exchange),wall of
capillaries, line inside blood and lymph vessels, part of membrane
line body cavities and cover viscera
◉ Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. Answer: Description: single layer
cube-shaped cell, spherical nuclei
Function: formation of urine (kidneys), secreted glandular
products(glands), protects
Location: covers ovaries and lines kidney tubules ducts of glands
(Free surface face LUMEN(hollow chamber)
◉ Simple Columnar Epithelium. Answer: Description: taller than
wider,Thick(protects), single layer elongated nuclei located near
basement membrane, can be ciliated or nonciliated
Function: cilia aide in moving egg cell, protects underlying tissues,
secretes(goblet cells) digestive fluids and absorbs(microvilli)
nutrients form digested food
, Location: female reproductive tract(cilia), (non cilia) uterus and
digestive tract (stomach small and large intestines)
◉ goblet cell. Answer: specialized flask-shaped glandular cell,
secretes mucus(protective fluid)
unicellular gland found in columnar epithelium that secretes
mucous
unicellular exocrine gland
◉ Microvilli. Answer: tiny cylindrical process increase surface
membrane
projections that increase the cell's surface area
◉ Cilia. Answer: Tiny hairlike extensions that move together in a
sweeping motion
◉ Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium. Answer: Description:
appeared stratified/layer due to nuclei lying at more than one level ,
varies in shape all reach basement membrane, cilia, goblet cells
Function: Protects and absorb( mucus lining sticks and traps foreign
particles , cilia sweeps upward and out of airway)
Location: respiratory system
