Unit Three Lecture Study Guide
Unit 3 Lecture Study Guide
1. List the 4 primary tissue types and give the general characteristics and functions of each one.
2. How are epithelial tissues classified?
3. How does the type of epithelial tissue relate to its function? Give at least 1 example of where you would find each type of epithelial tissue.
4. Differentiate between exocrine and endocrine glands. Give an example of each.
5. What is the difference between apocrine, merocrine and holocrine glands? Which is the most common?
6. Describe connective tissue’s intercellular material.
7. What are the 8 main types of connective tissue? Briefly describe each.
8. Order the types of connective tissue from most rigid to softest. Be sure that you understand why?
9. Describe the 3 types of cartilage? Which is the most abundant?
10. Differentiate between the 3 types of muscle tissue.
11. What are the basic steps of tissue repair?
12. What is the composition of DNA?
13. How are nucleotides paired in DNA? What is different with RNA?
14. Explain the process of DNA replication and when it occurs.
15. What specifies that amino acid sequence of a protein?
16. What is RNA? How are the 3 types different in function?
17. How are triplet codes, codons, and amino acids related?
18. What is the purpose of mitosis?
19. Briefly describe what happens in each phase of mitosis?
20. What is the purpose of meiosis?
21. Explain the relationship between gametes, zygote, blastocyst, embryo and fetus.
1. Connective Tissue gives shape to organs and holds them in place. Blood and bones would be examples.
Muscle cells form active contractile tissue of the body known as muscle tissue. Muscle tissue functions to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement of internal organs. Muscle tissue could be smooth muscle tissue which is lining the inside of organs, skeletal tissue, attached to bone for movement, and cardiac tissue,
