HUMAN ANATOMY 220 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS 2026 –
2027 .
Tissues - Correct Answer -Groups of similar cells an extacellular products that carry out a
common function, such as providing protection of facilitating body movement.
Epithelial Tissue - Correct Answer -Covers surfaces; lines insides of organs and body
cavities.
Connective Tissue - Correct Answer -Protects, binds together, and supports organs.
Muscle Tissue - Correct Answer -Facilitates movement of skeleton or organ walls.
Nervous Tissue - Correct Answer -Neurons: Control activity and process information.
Glial Cells: Support and protection of neurons.
Apical Surface - Correct Answer -Top surface which is exposed to the external environment
or internal body space.
Lateral Surface - Correct Answer -Intercellular junctions.
Basal Surface - Correct Answer -Where epithelium is attached to the underlying connective
tissue.
Merocrine Glands - Correct Answer -Package their secretions in structures called secretory
vesicles. The vesicles travel to the apical surface and secrete by exocytosis.
Holocrine Glands - Correct Answer -Accumulate a product and then the entire cell
disintegrates. Ex. Oil producing gland.
1
, Apocrine Glands - Correct Answer -Apical portion of the cytoplasm pinches off a bleb to
secrete. Ex. Mammary Glands
Types of Connective Tissue include: - Correct Answer -Blood, Loose CT, Dense Fibrous,
Cartilage, and Bone.
Hyaline Cartilage - Correct Answer -Fine collagen fibers. Ex. Ends of bone.
Fibrocartilage - Correct Answer -Fibers are dense collagen bundles. Acts as cushion for
joints. Ex. Intervertebral discs, meniscus in knee
Elastic Cartilage - Correct Answer -Fibers are dense elastic bundles that are flexible. Ex.
Ears, some of the nose, and epiglottis.
Types of Muscle - Correct Answer -Smooth, Cardiac, and Skeletal.
Smooth Muscle - Correct Answer --Single central nucleus
-In round arteries and veins
-Ex. Bladder and Uterus
-Non-voluntary
Cardiac Muscle - Correct Answer --Irregular shape. "Branched"
-Single central nucleus
-Striated because of the arrangement of actin and myosin.
-Joined by intercalated discs.
-Non-voluntary
Skeletal Muscle - Correct Answer --Fibers are elongated
-Multiple nuclei per fiber
-Striated
-Voluntary
