About This Quiz

Do you know about the human body tissues and their types? If so, attempt these quiz questions and answers and check your knowledge regarding different types of human body tissues. Generally, there are four basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue, and each of them performs different bodily functions with different characteristics. Do you know about those characteristics? Let's test it out with the help of the quiz given below. All the best!.

Body Tissues Quiz Questions And Answers - Quiz

  • 2. 

    Which type of tissue is designed to stretch?

    • Transitional

    • Stratified

    • Epithelial

    • Squamous

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitional
    Explanation
    Transitional tissue is designed to stretch. This type of tissue is found in organs such as the bladder and ureters, which need to be able to expand and contract as they fill and empty. Transitional tissue is unique because it can change its shape and stretch without tearing, allowing for increased flexibility and accommodating changes in volume.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Also known as White Blood Cells, _________ spend most of their time in connective tissue.

    • Pathogens

    • Leukocytes

    • Thrombocytes

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Leukocytes
    Explanation
    Leukocytes, also known as White Blood Cells, spend most of their time in connective tissue. Leukocytes are a vital part of the immune system and are responsible for defending the body against pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. They are constantly patrolling the body, searching for any signs of infection or foreign substances. When they detect an invader, they can move from the bloodstream into the connective tissue to eliminate the threat and initiate an immune response. Therefore, leukocytes are the correct answer as they specifically refer to the white blood cells that reside in connective tissue.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What kind of Epithelium is located in the bladder?

    • Transitional Epithelial

    • Simple Sqamous Epithelial

    • Stratified Sqamous Epithelial

    • Simple Columnar Epithelial

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitional Epithelial
    Explanation
    Transitional epithelial tissue is located in the bladder. This type of epithelium is unique because it can stretch and expand without tearing. It is found in organs that undergo frequent stretching, such as the bladder, ureters, and urethra. Transitional epithelial cells have a rounded shape when the organ is empty and flatten out when the organ is full. This allows the bladder to expand and accommodate urine without causing damage to the tissue.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What type of tissue is located in pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, and the knee joint?

    • Dense Regular Connective Tissue

    • Aereolar Tissue

    • Fibrocartlidge Connective Tissue

    • Dense Irregular Tissue

    • Elastic Cartlidge Connective Tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Fibrocartlidge Connective Tissue
    Explanation
    Fibrocartilage connective tissue is the correct answer because it is found in the mentioned locations - pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, and the knee joint. Fibrocartilage is a tough and strong type of connective tissue that contains both collagen fibers and cartilage cells. It is specifically designed to withstand pressure and provide support in areas that experience a lot of stress and movement, such as the joints and between vertebrae.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Chondrocytes are cells found in:

    • Cartilage tissue

    • Connective tissue

    • Epithelial tissue

    • Smooth tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Cartilage tissue
    Explanation
    Chondrocytes are specialized cells that are found in cartilage tissue. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that provides support and flexibility to various parts of the body such as the nose, ears, and joints. Chondrocytes are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix of cartilage, which consists of collagen and proteoglycans. This matrix gives cartilage its unique properties and allows it to withstand mechanical stress. Therefore, the correct answer is cartilage tissue.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A tissue with more matrix than cell volume, often specialized to support, bind together, and protect organs is called what?

    • Skeletal Tissue

    • Muscular Tissue

    • Connective Tissue

    • Epithelial Tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Connective Tissue
    Explanation
    Connective tissue is a type of tissue that has more matrix (extracellular material) than cell volume. It is often specialized to support, bind together, and protect organs. Examples of connective tissue include bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Skeletal tissue and muscular tissue are specific types of connective tissue, but they do not encompass all the characteristics mentioned in the question. Epithelial tissue, on the other hand, is a different type of tissue that covers the surfaces of the body and organs. Therefore, the correct answer is Connective Tissue.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    ________ connective tissue is located in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow.

    • Reticular

    • Cartilage

    • Adipose 

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Reticular
    Explanation
    Reticular connective tissue is located in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow. This type of connective tissue is composed of reticular fibers and reticular cells, forming a network-like structure that provides support and framework for these organs. It helps in filtering and trapping foreign particles in the lymph nodes, stores and produces blood cells in the bone marrow, and supports the immune system in the spleen and thymus. Therefore, the correct answer is reticular.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Where is Adipose Tissue located?

    • Subcutaneous fat beneath skin

    • Heart surface

    • Mesenteries

    • Surroundings the kidneys and eyeballs

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat in the body. It is found in various locations, including subcutaneous fat beneath the skin, on the heart surface, in the mesenteries (the membranes that attach organs to the abdominal wall), and surrounding the kidneys and eyeballs. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as adipose tissue can be found in all of these locations.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The type of cartilage found in your nose is:

    • Elastic cartilage

    • Hyaline cartilage

    • Smooth cartilage

    • Fibrocartilage

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyaline cartilage
    Explanation
    Hyaline cartilage is the type of cartilage found in the nose. This type of cartilage is smooth and flexible, providing support and shape to various structures in the body, including the nose. It is characterized by its glassy appearance under a microscope due to its densely packed collagen fibers. Hyaline cartilage is also found in other areas such as the trachea, larynx, and the ends of long bones.
