Pre-Workshop 4: Tissues

Use Chapter 5 in your textbook to do these Pre-Workshop Activities.

Activity A: General Tissue Information

Match tissue characteristic to the primary tissue type.(Write the word) A characteristic could describe more than one primary tissue
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
  1. _______________ Cells contain processes that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells.
  2. _______________ Most types of this tissue regenerate easily
  3. _______________ All types of this tissue are avascular
  4. _______________ Cells of this tissue form glands
  5. _______________ Has elongated cells that shorten and cause movement
  6. _______________ Tissue contains more extracellular matrix than cells
  7. _______________ Cells form a barrier that controls passage of molecules
  8. _______________ Primary Tissue type(s) that exhibit(s) cellularity
  9. _______________ Primary tissue type(s) that is (are) vascular
  10. _______________ Some cell types contain striations
  11. _______________ Tissue is most abundant in the body and extremely versatile in function


Activity B: Epithelial Tissue

Match the Function to an epithelial tissue type. An epithelial tissue type can have more than one function Write the word in the blanks below.
Absorption
Diffusion
Filtration
Secretion
Movement of substances over a surface
Protection of underlying tissues
Distension

  1. ________________ Stratified squamous lining the mouth, esophagus and vagina
  2. ________________ Simple squamous forming the lung alveoli (air sacs) and capillaries
  3. ________________ Simple cuboidal forming the kidney tubules
  4. ________________ Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium lining the nasal cavities & trachea
  5. ________________ Non-ciliated columnar epithelium lining the stomach and small intestine
  6. ________________ Transitional epithelium lining the urinary bladder and ureters
  7. ________________ Specialized columnar cells called goblet cells
  8. ________________ Epithelium making up Endocrine and Exocrine glands


Activity C: Connective Tissue

Match each connective tissue type to its function. Write the word in the blanks below.
Aerolar connective
Reticular connective
Adipose connective
Dense regular connective
Dense Irregular connective
Elastic connective
Hyaline cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Bone
Blood
  1. _______________ Contains elastic fibers and is found in the lung, Allows lung to expand when you breath in and allows lung to return to original size and shape after you breath out.
  2. _______________ Packed with parallel bundles of collagen fibers and found in tendons and ligament. Resists pulling forces in one plane of motion
  3. _______________ Has a gel like matrix. Found in the walls of the trachea and keeps them from collapsing
  4. _______________ Acts as packaging in almost every organ. Matrix (extra-cellular substance) has loose arrangement of 3 fiber types and made of many different cell types.
  5. _______________ Forms framework and gives support (like a good bra) to organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow
  6. _______________ Packed with bundles of collagen fibers that run in all different directions. Found under the skin, covers bones and the liver and resists pulling forces in all direction.
  7. _______________ Fluid connective tissue that transports substances throughout the body.
  8. _______________ Contains large number of lipid storing cells with their nucleus shoved to one side. Acts for insulation, padding and energy storage,
  9. _______________ Has an extremely hard, calcified matrix. Acts for protection and support.
  10. _______________ Fibroblasts produce extra-cellular matrix
  11. _______________ Chondroblasts produce the extra-cellular matrix.
  12. _______________ Used as a shock absorber. Found between vertebra as intervertebral discs and in the knee as menisci
