2. What is the tissue that covers the body surface and lines internal tubes called?
A: Epithelial tissue has one surface “open” to the exterior or to the contents of the tube.
3 / 24
3. Which of the following cells would be found in connective tissue?
C: Chondro- refers to cartilage, so chondrocytes are cells found in cartilage. Cartilage is a connective tissue. The other choices are found in epithelial tissue, or nervous tissue.
4 / 24
4. Choose the membrane that is NOT a serous membrane.
D: The lamina propria is a “basement membrane” attached to epithelial tissue. The others are serous membranes.
5 / 24
5. Which of the following is NOT a cell found in connective tissue?
C: Keratinocytes are in the epidermis which is epithelial tissue. The other cell types occur in fat, cartilage and bone.
6 / 24
6. Which list below contains the four types of tissue?
D: These are the four types. Extracellular fluid is not a tissue. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue.
7 / 24
7. What is the difference between simple squamous cells and simple columnar cells?
A: The names of the cells contain a description of their shape: either flat or like columns. Simple refers to a single layer of cells.
8 / 24
8. Which one of the following cell types is found in epithelial tissue?
D: These cells produce keratin, the protein of the stratum corneum.
9 / 24
9. Which is NOT true of connective tissue (CT)?
A: Being close packed is a property of epithelial tissue. In connective tissues the cells are widely spaced, being separated by the ground substance.

10. What is “deep fascia”?
A: Deep fascia is a fibrous connective tissue that surrounds and penetrates into the muscles, as well as surrounding bones, nerves and blood vessels._x000d_Muscle epimysium is an example of deep fascia. Choice C is referring to superficial fascia.
11 / 24
11. Which of the following is NOT an example of connective tissue?
D: The epidermis (on top of the dermis) is epithelial tissue.
12 / 24
12. Adipocytes are found in which type of tissue?
D: Adipocytes are found in fat (adipose tissue) which is a type of connective tissue.
13 / 24
13. Choose the tissue below that is one of the four primary types of body tissue.
B: Epithelial is a major tissue type (as is muscle, nervous and connective).
14 / 24
14. What tissue has cells that are closely packed and that have one surface attached to a basement membrane and the other free to a space?
A: This is a definition of epithelial tissue.
15 / 24
15. What does simple columnar epithelial tissue refer to? Tissue with___
A: Simple = one layer. Columnar means oblong or shaped like a column.
16 / 24
16. What are tendons and ligaments composed of?
A: Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissue. This is strong as there is a high proportion of fibres.
17 / 24
17. Which of the following is a connective tissue?
D: Blood contains cells separated by a liquid matrix. Choices A and B are epithelial and nervous tissues.
18 / 24
18. Which one of the following cell types is found in epithelial tissue?
C: Keratinocytes produce keratin, the protein of the epidermis, which is epithelial tissue.
19 / 24
19. Which of the following is ONE major function of epithelial cells?
B: Glandular tissues are one type of epithelial tissue, and their function is to produce material to secrete.
20 / 24
20. What is the composition of the intercellular matrix in connective tissue?
C: “Intercellular” means between cells. Matrix is composed of fibres and ground substance (but no cells).
21 / 24
21. Which of the tissue types below consists of a single layer of cells?
D: The word “simple” indicates a single layer of cells. Stratified means several layers (or strata) of cells.
22 / 24
22. Which one of the following is NOT a serous membrane?
C: Mucosa is a mucous membrane (and secretes mucus).
23 / 24
23. Which one of the following cell types is found in epithelial tissue?
D: Melanocytes produce melanin to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, and it results in tanning of the skin.
24 / 24
24. Which of the following is NOT a connective tissue?
B: Mesothelium is simple squamous epithelium that is found in serous membranes.
