Short Answer1. Give one example each of an exocrine and endocrine gland.

2. Match each type of tissue to the organ it is most likely to be found in.

Tissue Organ

Simple Squamous A. Muscular layer of hollow organs like the stomach.

Simple Cuboidal B. Brain and spinal cord.

Simple Columnar C. Covers ends of bones; connects ribs to sternum.

Pseudostratified Ciliated D. Inner lining of the urinary bladder.

Transitional E. Heart muscle.

Stratified Squamous F. Blood cell storage, such as the lymph nodes or spleen.

Skeletal Muscle G. Breasts, bottom layer of skin.

Smooth Muscle H. Separates skin and muscle.

Cardiac Muscle I. Tendons.

Areolar J. External ear.

Nervous K. Between the bones (vertebrae) of the spinal column.

Reticular L. Lining of the air sacs of the lungs.

Dense Regular M. Lining of the intestines.

Fibrocartilage N. Nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi.

Elastic Cartilage O. Found in any voluntary muscle, like the deltoid.

Hyaline Cartilage P. Lining the tubules of many glands and the kidneys.

Adipose Q. Outer layers of the skin.

3. What might happen if we had simple squamous instead of stratified squamous epithelium on our skin?

4. Simple cuboidal cells, unlike squamous, are found in areas where a lot of secretion occur, such as glands. Why do the cells need to be larger?

5. Simple columnar cells are also found in areas high in absorption and secretion, such as the digestive tract. What is the advantage of having larger cells in these areas?

6. Compare tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions. First, give an example of a tissue where each is found. Second, explain their function within that tissue.

7. Body organs are made of combinations of different types of tissue. This is a slide taken from the trachea, which transports air down towards the lungs. There are two types of epithelium present, and one type of connective tissue present. Label them.
