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)

Location: Heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, alveoli, glomeruli and

part of any serous membrane covering internal organs.
Function: Diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and secretion.

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

the bronchus? (1 mark)

Simple Columnar: Moves substances and secretes

mucous

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

1. Cilia

2. Ciliated columnar cell

3. Basement membrane

4. Goblet cell
Part B: Connective Tissue

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

Loose Adipose: Found anywhere with areolar connective

tissue.

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

Stores at as triglycerides, is used to produce ATP, insulates the body,

and protects and cushions organs.

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

Location: tendons, ligaments and aponeuroses

Function: Provides very strong attachments for
connecting muscle to bone and connecting bone to
bone (ligaments)

8. 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 Short, flat, irregular bones. Found Throughout the body (ex:
at the ends of long bones, as well, Limbs)
it surrounds hollow medullary
cavity
Unique Feature Contains bone marrow Arranged into osteons
