Identify These Tissues Quiz

The vascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is responsible for transporting blood carrying gases, nutrients, wastes, hormones, etc. throughout the body.

The correct term for 'osseus' is 'bone', as it refers to the skeletal structure of the body.

Cardiac muscle is specifically designed for the involuntary control of the heart's contraction, which in turn circulates blood throughout the body. Skeletal muscle is responsible for voluntary movements, smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, and striated muscle refers to both cardiac and skeletal muscles.

Simple columnar epithelial tissue is found in the digestive tract where it is responsible for functions like absorption and secretion of mucus. When ciliated, it also aids in propelling substances along the tract.

The correct answer is 'nerves' because the nervous system is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses that help us sense and react to different stimuli.

Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and is responsible for propelling substances or objects along internal passages.

Adipose tissue serves as a storage site for energy in the form of lipids and is primarily found under the skin, around the kidneys, and in the abdomen. It provides cushioning, protection, and insulation to the body.

Areolar connective tissue is loose connective tissue that wraps and cushions organs, holds and conveys tissue fluids, and contains macrophages that phagocytize bacteria during inflammation.

Skeletal muscle is the only muscle type that is attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Smooth muscle is found in internal organs and blood vessels, cardiac muscle is specific to the heart, and adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue primarily used for fat storage.

The trachea is lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium, which helps in secreting mucus to trap particles and keep the airways clean.

Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells that allows for efficient diffusion and filtration. This type of tissue is ideal for areas where rapid diffusion of molecules is necessary, such as in the lungs.

Stratified squamous epithelial tissue is found in the skin and provides protection in high abrasion areas due to its multiple layers of cells.

Tendons are primarily composed of dense, regular connective tissue which allows them to withstand tension and attach muscle to bone.
