Biological Tissues and Functions Quiz

Muscle tissue is not a primary tissue type; epithelial, connective, and nervous tissues are.

Epithelial tissue primarily functions in protecting underlying structures.

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are not a component of nervous tissue.

Bone is an example of connective tissue, providing support and protection.

Nervous tissue is responsible for control and coordination of body activities.

The extracellular matrix of connective tissue consists of proteins and ground substance.

Transitional epithelium lines the urinary bladder, allowing expansion and recoil.

Adipose tissue primarily stores energy and provides insulation.

Muscle tissue contracts, generating movement in the body.

Smooth muscle tissue lacks striations, unlike skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue.

Skeletal muscle tissue moves bones at joints, facilitating body movement.

Ciliated epithelium facilitates the movement of particles along its surface, aiding in mucus clearance and fluid movement.

Epithelial tissue has a high regenerative capacity, facilitating rapid repair of damaged surfaces.
