We’ll put your name on your report, certificate, and leaderboard.
2. Name this tissue & (3) Structures.

Explanation

The correct answer is Areolar Connective Tissue along with Elastic Fibers, Collagen Fibers, and Fibroblast Nuclei. These structures are characteristic of Areolar Connective Tissue and different from the incorrect options provided.

Submit
3. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

Adipose connective tissue, also known as fat tissue, is composed of adipocytes and functions to store energy, cushion organs, and provide insulation.

Submit
4. What is the name of this tissue and the two cell types within it?

Explanation

The correct answer is Blood Connective Tissue, which contains Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells. Nervous Tissue consists of Neurons and Glial Cells. Muscle Tissue includes Skeletal Muscle Cells and Smooth Muscle Cells. Epithelial Tissue is made up of Squamous Cells and Cuboidal Cells.

Submit
5. Identify this tissue type.

Explanation

Transitional Epithelium is a type of stratified epithelium that can stretch and recoil, making it ideal for lining organs like the urinary bladder. Skeletal Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Adipose Tissue are different types of tissues with distinct structures and functions.

Submit
6. Identify this tissue along with (3) Structures.

Explanation

Nervous tissue is specialized for communication by electrical and chemical signals. The structures mentioned - Nuclei of Supporting Cells, Cell body of neuron, and Neuron Processes, are all components of nervous tissue responsible for its function.

Submit
7. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of a single layer of cube-shaped cells. It is typically found in glands, ducts, and the kidney tubules where secretion and absorption occur.

Submit
8. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

The correct answer is Dense Regular Connective Tissue, which is characterized by tightly packed collagen fibers arranged in parallel. Epithelial tissue is a layer of cells that forms a protective barrier, adipose tissue stores fat, and muscle tissue is responsible for movement.

Submit
9. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements. It is striated and can be controlled consciously. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is also striated but involuntary. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat. Epithelial tissue covers the surfaces of the body and organs.

Submit
10. Name this tissue & (1) Structure.

Explanation

The correct answer is Hyaline Cartilage because it consists of chondrocytes located in small cavities called lacunae. Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage, and Bone Tissue have different types of cells and structures, making them incorrect choices.

Submit
11. Identify this tissue.

Explanation

Smooth muscle is a type of tissue found in the walls of various organs and structures in the body. It is involuntary and functions in a variety of processes, such as regulating blood pressure and digestion.

Submit
12. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

Stratified Squamous Epithelium is a type of tissue that consists of layers of flattened cells. It is found in areas of the body that experience abrasion and friction, such as the skin, mouth, and esophagus. It provides protection and allows for easy diffusion of substances.

Submit
13. Name this tissue & (1) Structure.

Explanation

The correct answer is Reticular Connective Tissue with Reticular Fibers. Reticular tissue provides structural support to organs such as the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.

Submit
14. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

The correct answer is Cardiac Muscle, which is specialized muscle tissue found in the heart responsible for its contractions. Adipose tissue is fat-storing tissue, epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines internal organs, and connective tissue provides support and structure to the body.

Submit
15. What is the name of this tissue along with two structures found in it?

Explanation

The correct answer is Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium, which is a type of epithelial tissue. The two structures found in this tissue are Cilia and Goblet Cell. The incorrect answers provided do not match with the characteristics of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium.

Submit
16. Name this tissue & structure.

Explanation

The correct answer is Elastic Cartilage which consists of chondrocyte cells residing in lacunae. Fibrous Cartilage has osteocytes, Adipose Tissue has adipocytes in a similar context of blood vessels, and Skeletal Muscle involves myofibrils within sarcomeres, not chondrocytes in lacunae.

Submit
17. Name this tissue & structure.

Explanation

The correct answer refers to fibrocartilage which consists of cartilage tissue with chondrocytes located in lacunae. The incorrect options describe different tissues and structures that do not match the description provided.

Submit
18. Identify this tissue type.

Explanation

Simple Squamous Epithelium is a single layer of flat cells that line surfaces involved in passive transport of molecules. It is found in areas such as the alveoli of the lungs and the lining of blood vessels. Stratified Squamous Epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells and is found in areas such as the outer layer of the skin. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium is a single layer of cube-shaped cells found in areas such as the kidney tubules. Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium appears to be multi-layered but is a single layer of cells with varying heights, typically found in the respiratory tract.

Submit
19. What is the name of this tissue?

Explanation

The correct answer is Simple Columnar Epithelium, which is a single layer of column-shaped cells that line the gastrointestinal tract. Stratified Squamous Epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells, Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium appears to be layered but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane, and Cuboidal Epithelium is a single layer of cube-shaped cells found in glandular tissue.
