What are the 4 types of animal tissue that you learned about?
Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscular tissue, and Nervous Tissue
When epithelial cells are arranged in a single cell layer, they are called (a) __. When they are present in multiple cell layers, they are called (b) __.
(a) Simple (b) Stratified
What is the scientific term for these hair-like structures, and what is their function? You find these cells lining the trachea and upper respiratory tract.
Cilia (this diagram is ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium). The cilia move mucous secreted by the cells.
What are the three groups of connective tissue that you learned about in this module?
Cartilage, Bone, and Blood
Identify the type of cartilage represented in the micrograph and give an example of where we can find this type of cartilage.
Fibrous cartilage. Found in the pads in knee joints, between the pubic bones of the pelvis and intervertebral disks.
Give an example of where Hyaline cartilage is found.
Covering
bone surfaces at synovial joints/ between ribs and sternum/ airway structures: larynx,
trachea and bronchi.
What are 2 functions of Hyaline cartilage?
Stiff but flexible support and reduces friction between bony surfaces in joints.
The bone matrix consists of (a) , (b) , phosphorous and magnesium which strengthen the matrix.
(a) Collagen fibres (b) Calcium
Complete the diagram by filling in the missing labels.
(a) Spongy bone (b) Compact bone (c) Nutrient artery
Where are red and white blood cells produced in the body?
In the red marrow of bones.
What are the biological names for red and white blood cells?
Red: Erythrocytes; White: Leucocytes
The four components that make up blood are the erythrocytes, leucocytes, platelets, and plasma. What is the function of plasma?
Plasma is the fluid part of the blood, it acts as a solvent to transport nutrients, hormones, antibodies, and waste products.
Identify the three basic types of muscle tissue:
(a) Smooth muscle tissue (b) Cardiac muscle tissue (c) Striated muscle tissue
Identify the three types of neurons:
1: Sensory Neuron (afferent). 2: Interneuron. 3: Motor neuron (efferent).
Label the neuron:
(a) Dendrites (b) Myelin (c) Axon
What is the function of leucocytes in the blood?
Immune response: attack and ingest foreign bodies and synthesize and distribute antibodies.
