ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1 EXAM
2 WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
2025/2026
Epithelia - characteristics, functions, correct answers >> one
of the four basic types of animal tissue. The other three types are
connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial
tissues line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs
throughout the body.
epithelial classes - squamous, etc. correct answers >> 1)
simple squamous
2) simple cuboidal
3) simple columnar
4) pseudostratified.
modes of secretion correct answers >> Merocrine - expelled
by exocytosis, only secretory product is lost, cell remains intact
Apocrine - secreted my membrane vesicles, secretory product
and some membrane lost
Holocrine - secretory product releases as cell breaks open, entire
cell lost
connective tissue
a. classification
b. fibers
c. categories correct answers >> 1)Connective Tissue Proper
,Loose Fibroelastic Connective Tissue
Dense Fibroelastic Connective Tissue
-Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
-Dense Regular Connective Tissue
2)Special Connective Tissue
Reticular Connective Tissue
Elastic Connective Tissue
Adipose Connective Tissue
Fibers of Connective Tissue include:
(1) collagen fibers, (2) reticular fibers, and (3) elastic fibers. The
most prevalent protein in the body is collagen.
cartilage types correct answers >> The three types of
cartilage are elastic, hyaline, and fibrocartilage. Elastic cartilage
has the greatest number of chondrocytes, so it bends the most.
Hyaline cartilage comes next, followed by fibrocartilage.
bone correct answers >> any of the pieces of hard, whitish
tissue making up the skeleton in humans and other vertebrates
4- membrane types, characteristics, examples correct answers
>> Cutaneous-skin, covers whole body composed of squamous
ex: EPITHELIAL cells
mucous-columnar EPITHELIAL Cells
produces mucous which protects tissue
, Line cavities that open to the outside
Serous- produces serous fluid which protects tissue, med of
EPITHELIAL cells supported by conn. tissue, line internal cavities
of the body that are NOT open.
synovial- produces synovial fluid, fluid reduces abrasion line the
joints
fasciae correct answers >> a band or sheet of connective
tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches,
stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal
organs.
muscle tissue - types, classification, examples correct answers
>> The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and
skeletal. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart,
appear striated, and are under involuntary control. Smooth
muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs,
except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under
involuntary control. Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which
are attached to the skeleton. They are striated in appearance and
are under voluntary control.
neural tissues-2 kinds correct answers >> Neurons -nerve
cells that transmit electrical signals to & from the brain & spinal
cord
-has three parts:
1. dendrites (receive info from other neurons)
2. cell body (contains nucleus, essential to life of cell)
