Histology Questions

Tendons join muscle to bone. They are subject to severe stresses which usually only occur in one direction, the direction of muscle pull. For this reason, they are made up of: A. Dense irregular connective tissueB. Dense regular connective tissue C. Elastic connective tissue D. Loose connective tissue E. Reticular fibers

Which type of membrane is identified by the number 3?

This tissue has staggered nuclei making it appear to be stratified, but all of the cells are in contact with the basement membrane

The cellular portion of bone is made up of:

Which type of epithelial tissue forms the urinary bladder, and portions of the ureters and urethra

This type of loose connective tissue can release heat-when broken down, providing energy for cells.

___________ blood cells, including the immune cells

Name the type of secretion described: the most violent and destructive form of secretion. (Think "holocaust"). The secretory product is made in the cytoplasm of the cell, and then the cell blows itself to bits, releasing the secretory product. Not surprisingly, the sebaceous glands of skin, which are over-active in teenagers, use this mode of secretion.

Cells destroyed by this mode of secretion must be replaced by stem cells.A. Apocrine secretionB. Holocrine secretion C. Merocrine secretion

This type of connective tissue forms tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses.A. Dense regular connective tissue B. Dense irregular connective tissue C. Elastic cartilage D. Hyaline cartilage E. Reticular connective tissue

What cell type is found in healthy dense connective tissue?A. AdipocytesB. Chondrocytes C. Fibroblasts D. Mast cells

Microvilli, cilia, and goblet cells are typical modifications of what type of tissue?

__________ tissue is identified by the cells present and the components of its extracellular matrix

This connective tissue protein forms elastic fibers.

What is the primary function of glandular epithelium?

Much of the lining of the respiratory tract is a ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is shown at:

The pericardium of the heart and periosteum of bones supply strength in all directions. Which type of connective tissue would best provide this multidirectional strength? A. Areolar B. Dense irregular C. Dense regular D. Reticular

Name the type of secretion described: the protein is formed in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, as with any protein. In the golgi, it's packed into vesicles that can then fuse with the cell membrane on demand to release the cell's secretory product. Saliva and pancreatic enzymes are secreted in this way

Which type(s) of connective tissue are classified as "supporting"? A. BloodB. Bone and cartilage C. Fluid connective tissue D. Loose and dense E. Lymph

This type of connective tissue forms a stroma for the liver and spleen.It is also one layer of the basement membrane where connective tissue contacts epithelia.A. Adipose B. Areolar C. Dense irregular D. Elastic cartilage E. Reticular
