ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE 2026
squamous epithelium - answer-flat, polygonal or scale-shaped cells
cuboidal epithelium - answer-cube-shaped cells
columnar epithelium - answer-pillar or column-shaped cells
simple layer - answer-single layer
stratified - answer-multiple layers
pseudo-stratified - answer-false layers
simple squamous epithelium - answer-lining of body cavities; heart lining, blood
vessels, lungs, urinary, in kidney tubules, ducts of many glands. functions in protection.
may also function in secretion or absorption
stratified cuboidal epithelium - answer-found in sweat glands, salivary glands, and
mammary glands. rare tissue type. secretion associated with glands.
simple columnar epithelium - answer-may or may not have cilia. non-ciliated lines the
GI tract from stomach to anus and most of the urinary tract. ciliated found in the upper
respiratory tract, fallopian tube, uterus, and central part of the spinal cord
connective tissues - answer-most abundant tissue. principle cell: fibroblast
, soft (loose) connective tissue - answer-acts as framework for epithelium. allows organs
to expand. storage of fluid. matrix of collagen and/or elastin fibers. allows for change.
dense, irregular connective tissue - answer-tight. found in: dermis, layers that support
mucus membranes, joint capsules, outer layer that covers bone and cartilage, supports
organs
dense, regular connective tissue - answer-still dealing with stress but predictable.
ligaments (connect bone to bone), tendons (muscles to bone)
cartilage - answer-chondrocytes, lie in small chambers called lacunae separated by a
flexible matrix of collagen fibers, no blood vessels, assisted. nose, ears, ends of bones,
walls of respiratory passages
hyaline - answer-nose. few collagen and elastin
elastic - answer-ear. lots of elastin
fibrocartilage - answer-fibrous. lots of collagen - less flexible. related to injury
bone - answer-compact or spongey
osteocytes - answer-bone cells, osteons
adipose tissue - answer-fat. no fiberblast. much fewer fibers. stores energy - rich lipids.
large vacuole. triglycerides.
blood - answer-transport. living components - erythrocytes (RBC), leukocytes (WBC).
nonliving - plasma (92% water). granival - platelets, thrombocytes
