BIO 201 L Exam 1 Practice Questions
and Correct Answers
Electrolytes ✅inorganic ions which conduct electricity in solution
Pyretic ✅pertaining to fever
Comparator ✅control (integrating) center
Epithelium ✅tightly packed cells that cover and line body surfaces. It lines, protects,
and secretes. Relies on diffusion for nutrition and waste removal
- classification is based on cellular morphology and the number of layers it makes up
Connective tissue ✅widely scattered cells with plenty of intercellular space and
substance (matrix)
- represents a wide assortment of subclasses, each with a variety of functions
Muscle tissue ✅excitable and contractile tissue
- the tissue has 3 subclasses, each with specific functions. They include skeletal,
cardiac, and smooth muscle
- muscle skates completely smoothly
Nervous tissue ✅excitable tissue used to send short-term signals to specific targets in
the body. It may also function as a specialized gland that released a hormone into the
blood.
Cell junction ✅specialized areas of the plasma membrane that attach a cell to another
cell or to extracellular materials
Gap junction ✅formed by a collection of proteins (connexions) with a hollow center
(central pore) allowing for the free diffusion of ions and small molecules between 2 cells
- common in epithelial tissue, cardiac and smooth muscle
Desmosomes : spot and hemi ✅durable intercellular connection. Formed by a
collection of cell adhesion molecules (cams) and proteoglycans (sticky proteins) that link
opposing cell membranes
- common in cells making up the superficial layer of the skin
- strong; serve to hold cells in place and can resist stretching and twisting
Types:
- spot desmosomes - stabilize the shape of the cell
- hemidesmosomes - attach the cell to the basement membrane
, Tight junctions (occluding) ✅formed by a collection of interlocking cell membrane
proteins. Immediately deep to these is the adhesion belt
- common in epithelial tissue where a water tight barrier is required: GI and urinary
tracts
- forms water tight barrier
Basement membrane ✅basal layer
Simple squamous epithelium ✅single layer of flattened cells
Location - alveoli of lungs
Function - reduces friction ; absorption and secretion
Stratified squamous epithelium ✅location - surface of skin
Function - provides physical protection against abrasions, pathogens, and chemical
attacks
Stratified cuboidal epithelium ✅location - lining of some ducts like sweat gland duct
Function - protection, secretion, absorption
Transitional epithelium ✅location - urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureters
Function - permits expansion and recoil after stretching
Simple columnar epithelium ✅Location- lining of stomach, intestine, gallbladder,
uterine tubes, collecting ducts of kidneys
Function- protection, secretion, absorption
Stratified columnar epithelium ✅Location: small areas of the pharynx, epiglottis, anus,
mammary glands, salivary gland ducts, and urethra
Function: protection
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium ✅HAS CILIA
Location - lining of nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi; portions of male reproductive tract
Function - protection, secretion, move mucus with cilia
Exocrine glands ✅secretes through ducts
- products go to places outside (surface of) the body or within a lumen within the body
Example - GI tract
Endocrine glands ✅secretes into the blood, no ducts
Merocrine secretion ✅Exocrine glands that secrete without losing cellular material
