Pre-Assignment #6..........................Tissue Level & the Integumentary System
Name:______________________________ Section #:_______
1) Compare and contrast the following supporting connective tissues:
Tissue
Cells (-cytes) Matrix Contains Growth Type Body Locations
Osseous
Fibrocartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
2) Compare and contrast the three types of muscular tissues
using the following four characteristics: specific locations in
your body, type of control used, the presence/absence of
striations, and specialized features (seen in a microscope).
Tissue
Body
Locations
Striated or
Nonstriated
Voluntary or
Involuntary Control
Cellular
Features
Smooth
Skeletal
Cardiac
3) Describe the function that the
following four items have in osseous
tissue: calcium salts (hydroxyapatite
crystals), collagen fibers, canaliculi,
and the periosteum.
4) Tell me what one tissue (HINT: look
back at your tissue cards)................
a) Found in the lining of the bladder & lower ureters since it stretches repeatedly?
b) Has a watery matrix & can move oxygen or fight infections with formed elements?
c) Has branching myofibrils, involuntary control, and intercalated discs?
d) Forms our larynx, nasal septum, tracheal rings & part of our ribs?
e) Forms dermis of skin, connects muscle fibers, and wraps around blood vessels?
f) Lines small ducts & thyroid, covers ovary surface, and lines kidney tubules?
g) Has a rock-hard calcified matrix with lacunae, lamellae, and canaliculi?
h) Forms tendons (bone-to-muscle), ligaments (bone-to-bone), & fascia?
5) List nine different functions of the integumentary system and then describe each
one with a small amount of detail.
6) Compare and contrast the properties of the five specific
epithelial layers found in thick skin. Which layer has
Langerhans cells, which one contains both keratinocytes
and melanocytes, and which one has dead cells connected
by desmosomes?
7) Compare/contrast the properties of the papillary and
reticular regions of the dermis. Which region anchors the skin to the hypodermis,
which region gives us our finger/toeprints, which one has most of the capillaries (to
lose heat), and which one can have dermatitis?
8) Fill out the following chart for the four membrane types:
Membrane
Type

9) Fill out the following chart for the following four types of exocrine glands:
Gland Type
Body Locations
Eccrine (Merocrine) Sudoriferous
Apocrine Sudoriferous
Unicellular Mucous (Goblet) Cells
Sebaceous (Holocrine)
10) Give a proper function for these eight accessory
structures of the skin.
a) Nociceptors
e) Arrector Pili Muscles
b) Nails
f) Stratum Lucidum
c) Meissner’s Corpuscles g) Hypodermis
d) Pacinian Corpuscles
h) Thermoreceptors
