You will require access to the textbook to answer the questions related to this lab.
Mark allocation is indicated for each question.

Part A Epithelial Tissue

1. Which of the following best describes the appearance of simple squamous epithelium? Select
the correct option. (0.5 marks)

Single Layer Multiple Layer

2. Provide a location and function of simple squamous epithelium. (1 mark)

The simple squamous epithelium is located in the kidney and its

functions are filtration, diffusion, osmosis and secretion.

3. What is the function of the simple epithelial tissue in the bronchus? (1 mark)
To facilitate diffusion of oxygen and CO2.

4. Label the diagram from the lab of the bronchus. (1.5 marks)

1. Cilia

2. Pseudostratified columnar cell

3. Basement membrane
Part B Connective Tissue

5. Describe the appearance and location of loose adipose tissue in the skin. (1 mark)
The loose adipose tissue appearance is closely packed circular
adipocytes with the nucleus push to one side. It's located in the
6. What is the function
hypodermis of adipose tissue
or subcutaneous layerinofthe skin. (1 mark)
thebody?
The function of adipose tissue is to store fat and provide insulation.

7. What is the function of dense regular connective tissue in the body? Name one place
where it can be found. (1 mark)
The function of dense regular connective tissue is to provide strong
attachment for connecting bone to bone and muscle to bone. It can
be found in the tendons.
8. Differentiate between spongy and compact bone using the chart below. (2 marks)

Spongy Compact
