Multiple Choice Questions
1.  Which of the following is NOT a basic type of tissue?
A.  muscular
B.  nervous
C.  urinary
D.  epithelial
E.  connective

Urinary is not a type of tissue.

 

Bloom’s Level: 1. Remember
Learning Outcome: 11.01.01 List the four major types of tissues found in the human body, and describe the structural features of each.
Section: 11.01
Topic: Animal Tissues

2. Simple squamous epithelium has
   A. a single layer of cube-shaped cells.
   B.  a single layer of column-shaped cells.
   C.  a single layer of flat cells.
   D.  many layers of flat cells.
   E.  many layers of cube-shaped cells.

Simple means that there is a single layer.  Squamous means that the cells are flat.

3. Which of the following tissue types would line the mouth?
   A. muscular
   B.  connective
   C.  epithelial
   D.  nervous
   E.  glandular

Epithelial tissue covers surfaces and lines body cavities.

4. Which type of tissue contains cells close together and connected to a basement membrane?
   A. hyaline cartilage
   B.  elastic cartilage
   C.  muscle tissue
   D.  nerve tissue
   E.  epithelial tissue

Epithelial tissue consists of tightly packed cells that form a continuous layer.  A basement membrane usually joins the epithelium to underlying connective tissue.

5. Which type of tissue has cube-shaped cells and lines kidney tubules?
   A. hyaline cartilage
   B.  nerve tissue
   C.  columnar epithelium
   D.  cuboidal epithelium
   E.  squamous epithelium

Epithelial tissue covers surface and lines body cavities.  Cube-shaped cells are called cuboidal.

6. What type of epithelium contains thin, flat cells stacked upon each other?
   A. simple squamous
   B.  stratified squamous
   C.  simple cuboidal
   D.  statified cuboidal
   E.  simple columnar

Thin, flat cells are called squamous.  Cells that are piled one on top of another are classified as stratified.

7. Glands that secrete their products into ducts are classified as
   A. serous glands.
   B.  mucous glands.
   C.  endocrine glands.
   D.  exocrine glands.
   E.  salivary glands.

Glands that secrete their product into ducts are called exocrine glands.  Those that secrete their product into the blood stream are endocrine glands.  The others are more specific types of glands.

8. Epithelial tissue can be modified to
   A. store fat.
   B.  perform absorption.
   C.  receive stimuli.
   D.  move body parts.
   E.  carry impulses.

The surface area of epithelial tissue can be modified to perform absorption.  The other choices belong to connective, nervous, or muscular tissue.

9. Which two types of tissue come together to make a “basement membrane”?
   A. muscle and connective
   B.  connective and nervous
   C.  nervous and epithelial
   D.  epithelial and connective
   E.  nervous and muscle

A basement membrane usually joins an epithelium to underlying connective tissue.

    A. Epithelial tissue helps to protect the body from bacterial invasion.
    B.  Epithelial tissue can be glandular.
    C.  Epithelial tissue can be found lining the tubules of the kidney.
    D.  Epithelial tissue may contain column-shaped cells.
    E.  Epithelial cells have spaces between them.

Epithelial cells are tightly packed cells that form a continuous layer
