Assignment: Tissue Recognition /30

You will require access to the textbook (Chapter 11) to answer the questions in this
assignment.

Part A: Epithelial Tissue

1. Check which of the following best

describes the appearance of the
epithelium in the image? (1 mark)
 Single layer
 Multiple layers

2. Provide a location and function of simple squamous epithelium? (2 marks)

The location of the simple squamous epithelium is found lining the heart,
blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, alveoli in lungs, and glomeruli in the
kidney. It forms any part of serous membrane that covers internal organs,
such as the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs.

3. What is the name and function of the simple epithelial tissue in

the bronchus? (1 mark)

The name of the tissue is pseudostratified columnar. It’s

functions in the bronchus is to secrete mucus, trap foreign
particles, and move substances along the surface of the tissue.

4. Label the diagram from the textbook (p. 177) of the bronchus. (2 marks)

1.CILIA

2.CILIATED COLUMNAR CELL

3.UNDERLYING TISSUE

5. GOBLET CELL
Part B: Connective Tissue

6. Identify and describe the tissue depicted in this picture. (1 mark)

That would be a squamous cell. Squamous cell tissue is

usually flattened in shape and are tightly compact together.

7. What is the function of the tissue that you identified in number 5? (1 mark)

It allows for diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and secretion.

8. Describe the function of dense regular connective tissue in the body and name one
location where it can be found. (2 marks)

The function of dense regular connective tissue in the

body is to give strong attachments for connection
muscle to the bone and connecting bone to cone. It’s
usually found in tendons, ligaments, and
aponeuroses.

9. Differentiate between spongy and compact bone using the chart below. (4 marks)

Spongy Bone Compact Bone

Provides support? No Yes

(Yes/No)
Organized? (Yes/No) No Yes

Location Intervertebral discs, public Long bones, skull, ribs,

symphasis, and knee joint. vertebrae, and pelvis.

Unique Feature Acts as a shock absorber, holds Important to mineral

together the shape of limbs/ body homeostatis and give
parts (ie : an ear ) reservoir for calcium and
phosphorus

Function Allows our limbs to Contract or relax It’s only job is to
move. depending on the contract and circulate
sympathetic blood throughout the
contract ( ‘fight body.
or flight’ ) or
parasympathetic
contract ( resting

Part D: Nervous Tissue

12. The function of neuroglia cells is to protect and support neurons. Complete the chart
regarding the following neuroglial cells. (2 marks)

Schwann Cell Oligodendrocyte Astrocyte

Location CNS CNS CNS

barrier.

13. Label the diagram of a typical neuron. (3 marks)
