/.Stem Cell(s) - Answer-Young, actively dividing cells that gradually differentiate into
various mature functioning cells that make up different body tissues
/.Embryonic (stem cells) - Answer-Type of stem cell that are active during development
in the uterus, and have the greatest potential for multiplication.
/.Postnatal (stem cells) - Answer-Type of stem cell that persist after birth.
/.Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous - Answer-Four main types of tissue.
/.Epithelial (definition) - Answer-This type of tissue covers surfaces, lines cavities, and
form glands.
/.Connective (definition) - Answer-This type of tissue supports and forms the framework
of all parts of the body.
/.Muscle (definition) - Answer-This type of tissue contracts and produces movement.
/.Nervous (definition) - Answer-This type of tissue conducts nerve impulses.
/.Membrane(s) - Answer-Epithelial and connective tissue often form sheets of tissues
that line and cover organs called ____.
/.Epithelium (Epithelial tissue) - Answer-A barrier that separates the body's relatively
constant internal environment from the rapidly changing external environment.
/.Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar - Answer-Three main shapes of epithelial cells.
/.Squamous (cell shapes) - Answer-A flat and irregular epithelial cell.
/.Columnar (cell shapes) - Answer-A long and narrow epithelial cell.
, /.Simple (arrangement) - Answer-A cell arrangement where the cells form a single layer,
functioning as a thin barrier through which materials can pass fairly easily.
/.Stratified (arrangement) - Answer-A cell arrangement where the cells form multiple
layers. This arrangement is found in areas subject to wear and tear that require
protection.
/.Pseudostratified (arrangement) - Answer-A cell arrangement where the cells seem to
form multiple layers but really are not.
/.Transitional epithelium - Answer-Tissue capable of varying a great deal in size and

surrounding tissue fluid. These secretions are usually absorbed into the blood stream.
/.Hormone(s) - Answer-Secretions of the endocrine glands that have effects on specific
tissues or target tissues.
/.Goblet (cells) - Answer-Single-celled exocrine glands that secrete mucus.
/.Connective (tissue) - Answer-Type of tissue that is the supporting fabric found
everywhere in the body.
/.Matrix - Answer-Intracellular background material that contains varying amounts of
water, protein fibers, and hard minerals.
/.Circulating, Loose, Dense, Cartilage, Bone - Answer-Five connective tissue types.
/.Circulating (connective tissue) - Answer-Connective tissue type that has a fluid
consistency; its cells are suspended in a liquid matrix or either blood or lymph.
/.Loose (connective tissue) - Answer-Connective tissue type that has a soft consistency,
similar to jelly.
/.Dense (connective tissue) - Answer-Connective tissue type that contains many fibers
and is quite strong, similar to a rope or canvas fabric.
