Tissue Review
Using key choices, correctly identify the Major tissue types described.
A=Connective
B= Epithelial C=Muscle
D=Nervous
____1. Forms mucous, serous, and epidermal membranes
____2. Allows for movement of limbs and for organ movements within the body
____3. Transmits electrochemical impulses
____4. Supports body organs
____5. Cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrets substances
____6. Basis of the major controlling system of the body
____7. The major function of the cells of this tissue type is to shorten(contract)
____8. Forms hormones
____9. Packages and protects body organs
____10. Characterized by having large amounts of nonliving matrix
____11. Allows you to smile, grasp, swim, ski and shoot an arrow
____12. Most widely distributed tissue type in the body
____13. Forms the brain and spinal cord.
Using key choices, identify the following specific type(s) of epithelial tissue.

Using key choices, identify the following connective tissue types.
A= Adipose B= Loose
C= Dense
D=Bone
E=Blood
F=Cartilage
____21. Found in Tendons; great strength due to bundles of collagen fibers
____22. Acts as a storage depot for lipids
____23. Forms the skeleton
____24. Contains matrix with many different cells/fibers; connects epithelial to other tissues
____25. Found on the surface of bones, reinforces trachea, makes up the ear
____26. Provides insulation for the body
____27. Transports minerals, nutrients, waste products
