Describe the classification of epithelial tissues.

The mesothelium comprises the superficial layer of the serous membranes of the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities.

A connective tissue that has a liquid matrix is

Cartilage is a form of tissue.

Adipocytes are found in tissues belonging to this category.

Which one of the following basic types of tissues functions to control the body?

Figure 4.1 Use the diagram above to answer the following questions. -Which letter indicates the epithelium?

Microvilli are common on almost all epithelial cells, but they are more obvious and abundant on absorption cells in the small intestine and the kidney.

Dense regular connective tissue gains its strength from the multitude of actin fibers that make up the bulk of the matrix.

All lining and covering membranes consist of

Of the following, the tissue with the greatest capacity for regeneration is

Cells lining the digestive tube are characteristic of this tissue category.

The distinguishing characteristic between tight junctions and adherens junctions is that

A pseudostratified epithelium is always

Bone and cartilage are examples of tissues in this category.

Which category of tissue is characterized by cells that have adhesion proteins and specialized cell-to-cell junctions?

In connective tissue proper, ground substance is manufactured and secreted by which type of cell?

Despite their name, many types of cell junction are not very strong at joining and holding cells together. The cell junctions that best keep cells from being pulled apart are

Cardiac muscle cells are connected to each other by intercalated discs.
