1. What are the five most important functions of epithelial tissue.
2. Identify the four principal tissue types.
3. Explain how the shape of epithelial cells is used for classification purposes. What are the four types of epithelium described in this classification process?
4. Classify epithelium according to the layers of cells present.
5. List the types of simple and stratified epithelium and give examples of each.
6. Which of the following best describes the number of blood vessels in epithelial tissue: none, very few, very numerous?
7. What is glandular epithelium? Give examples.
8. How do exocrine glands secrete their products?
9. Name three kinds of fibers that may be present in a connective tissue matrix. What are they made of?
10. Compare the structure of the three major types of cartilage tissue. Locate and give an example of each type.
11. List the components of whole blood and discuss the basic function of each fraction or cell type.

15. Name three types of fibrous connective tissue and briefly describe each.
16. Describe the regenerative capacity of muscle and nerve tissues.
17. What makes bone tissue hard?
Critical Thinking Questions
1. A baby was born with congenital problems in the skeleton and muscle systems. From what primary germ layer do these systems arise? What is the earliest possible developmental stage where a problem could have impacted just one primary germ layer?
2. Many athletes work to reduce their body fat to the lowest possible percent. What are some of the functional and structural consequences that could develop if too little body
