Question type: Essay
5) Name and briefly describe the different categories of epithelial tissues based on cell shape and
number of layers of cells found in the tissue.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Solution: Based on cell shape, epithelial tissues can be divided into four categories including:

3)columnar are taller than they are wide and 4)transitional which can change shape from
cuboidal to squamous and back again. Epithelial tissues can also be categorized based on the
number of layers of cells found in the tissue. These categories include: 1)simple which means a
single layer of cells, 2)stratified which is two or more layers of cells and 3)pseudostratified

26) Name and briefly describe the two types of growth seen in cartilage.
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: Growth of cartilage can be classified as interstitial or appositional. In interstitial
growth, the cartilage increases rapidly in size due to the division of existing chondrocytes and the
continuous deposition of increasing amounts of matrix by the chondrocytes. In appositional
growth, activity of the cells in the inner chondrogenic layer of the perichondrium leads to

lOMoARcPSD|2323886
growth. Deeper layers divide and cells mature resulting in the matrix accumulating beneath the
perichondrium on the outer surface of the cartilage causing it to grow in width.

53) Briefly describe the four parts of an osteon.
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: Each osteon includes lamellae, lacunae, canaliculi and a Haversian canal. The lamellae
are concentric rings of matrix that consist of mineral salts and collagen fibers. Lacunae are small
spaces between lamellae that contain mature bone cells called osteocytes. Projecting from the
lacunae are canaliculi, which are networks of minute canals containing the processes of
osteocytes. Canaliculi provide routes for nutrients to reach osteocytes and for wastes to leave
them. A central Haversian canal contains blood vessels and nerves.
54) Name and describe the types of cells commonly found in connective tissue.
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Learning Objective 2: LO 4.5.1 Describe the general features of connective tissue.
Solution: Connective tissue can contain fibroblasts, which are large, flat cells with branching
projections that secrete the fibers and ground substance of the matrix. Macrophages develop
from monocytes and are irregular shaped with short branching projections and are capable of
engulfing bacteria and cellular debris by phagocytosis. Plasma cells secrete antibodies that attack

lOMoARcPSD|2323886
or neutralize foreign substances in the body. Mast cells produce histamine that dilates small
blood vessels. Adipocytes store triglycerides. White blood cells migrate from blood to
connective tissue in response to certain immune system conditions.

Answer: a
Difficulty: Easy
58) Compare and contrast the functional and structural characteristics of the three types of
muscle tissue.
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: Both cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues are striated and smooth muscle is not, hence
its name. Skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus and are large and run parallel to each
other. Cardiac muscle cells usually have only one nucleus and are branched. They also are
connected to each other via gap junctions and desmosomes. This area is known as the
intercalated discs. Smooth muscle cells are small spindle-shaped cells that form thick layers
around the hollow organs. Like cardiac muscle cells, some smooth muscle cells communicate via
gap junctions. Skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled while both cardiac and smooth muscle
tissue are involuntary.

Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
junctions.
Solution: The classification is based on how their secretion is released. Merocrine gland
secretions are packaged into a secretary vesicle and released via exocytosis. Apocrine glands
accumulate their secretory product at the apical surface of the cell and the upper portion of the
cell pinches off from the rest of the cell to release the products. Holocrine glands accumulate
their product in their cytosol and after the cell matures, ruptures and releases the product.
