Question

1. twelve tissue types are diagrammed in figure 3 - 9. identify each tissue type by inserting the correct name in the blank below it on the diagram. select different colors for the following structures and use them to color the coding circles and corresponding structures in the diagrams.

epithelial cells
nerve cells
muscle cells
matrix (where found, matrix should be colored differently from the living cells of that tissue type. be careful; this may not be as easy as it seems!)
a simple squamous epithelium
b simple cuboidal epithelium
c cardiac muscle
d dense fibrous connective
e bone
f skeletal muscle

Explanation:

This problem involves identifying different tissue - types based on their microscopic appearance. In biology, tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function. Simple squamous epithelium has flat cells and is often involved in diffusion. Simple cuboidal epithelium has cube - shaped cells and is involved in secretion and absorption. Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, found in the heart. Dense fibrous connective tissue has a high density of fibers and provides strength. Bone is a hard connective tissue that provides support and protection. Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary, attached to bones for movement.

Answer:

A. Simple Squamous Epithelium
B. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
C. Cardiac Muscle
D. Dense Fibrous Connective
E. Bone
F. Skeletal Muscle
