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)

Located on the outer layer of the skin. They also line the heart,
blood and lymphatic vessels, alveloi in lungs and glomeruli in the
kidneys. It allows diffusion, filtration and secretion to occur.
3. What is the function of the simple epithelial tissue in the bronchus? (1 mark)
It secretes mucous to trap and move foreign particles breathed in.

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)
Loose adipose tissue is packed with many fat cells with loose
fibrous connective tissue. It is located in the subcutaneous layer of

the body? mark)
The function of adipose tissue is to store fat that can be used to
produce APT. It insulates the body as well as protects and cushions
organs.
7. What is the function of dense regular connective tissue in the body? Name one place
where it can be found. (1 mark)
Tendons are a dense regular connective tissue. It connects
muscles to bone. Ligaments are also dense regular tissue that
connects bone to bone.
8. Differentiate between spongy and compact bone using the chart below. (2 marks)

Spongy Compact
Provides support YorN Y Y
Organized Yor N N Y

2. Lacunae containing osteocytes

3. Ground substance

4. Blood vessel (vein)

5. Nerve

6. Blood vessel (artery)

10. Complete the chart comparing the three types of muscle tissue (3 marks)

Skeletal Smooth Cardiac

Involuntary or
Voluntary Voluntary Involuntary Involuntary
Number of nuclei Multiple Single 1-3 Nuclei
Function Movement of bones and other structures. Contracts to facilitate bodily functions. Pumps blood throughout the body.

Location tongue, biceps etc.. bladder, digestive tract, uterus heart

Part D Nervous Tissue

11. The function of neuroglia cells is to protect and support neurons. Complete the chart
regarding the following neuroglia cells. (1 mark)

Schwann Cell Oligodendrocyte Astrocyte

Location PNS CNS CNS
Function Produce myelin Produce myelin blood brain barrier

12. Label the diagram of a typical neuron from the lab. (3 marks)

1. Dendrite 3. Axon 5. Myelin producing cell

2. Cell body 6. Axon terminal

4. Node of Ranvier (gap in myelin)
13. Complete the chart regarding the nervous system and location of grey and white matter. Indicate
whether it is on the inside or outside of the following structures. (1 mark)

Spinal Cord Brain: Cerebrum Brain: Cerebellum

Grey matter inside outside inside
White matter inside inside inside
