COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi . Answer: Where is
pseudostratified columnar epithelium found?
◉many layers of a combination of cuboidal and "oddly shaped" cells
and the ability to stretch extensively . Answer: What is transitional
epithelium and its function?
◉the urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and ureters . Answer: Where is
transitional epithelium located?
◉epithelia that contains gland cells . Answer: What is glandular
epithelia?
◉exocrine glands: secretions travel through ducts to epithelial
surface
endocrine glands: secretions called hormones enter into the blood .
Answer: What are the 2 types of glandular epithelia and their
secretions?
,◉unicellular: secretes mucins
multicellular: secrete serous and/or mucous secretions and
produces secretory sheets . Answer: What are the 2 types of of gland
structure?
◉specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, and a matrix .
Answer: What are the 3 main components of connective tissues?
◉the space between the cells that is made up of protein fibers and
the ground substance . Answer: What is the matrix of connective
tissues?
◉connective tissue proper: matrix of fibers (loose fibers and dense
fibers)
fluid connective tissue: matrix of liquid (blood and lymph cells)
supporting connective tissue: matrix of gel or a solid (cartilage and
bone) . Answer: What are the 3 classifications of connective tissue?
◉collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastic fibers . Answer: What
are the three types of connective tissue fibers?
◉strong fibers . Answer: What are the properties of collagen fibers?
, ◉connects skin to muscle and surrounds organs loosely . Answer:
What is the function of areolar tissue?
◉energy storage, insulation, and cushioning . Answer: What is the
function of adipose tissue?

tissue?
◉to provide strength in one direction . Answer: What is the function
of dense regular connective tissue?
◉to provide strength in multiple directions . Answer: What is the
function of dense irregular connective tissue?
