20 Questions
At what age does the pituitary gland begin to secrete progressively more FSH and LH hormones?
9 to 12 years
What is the function of granulosa cells in the primordial follicle?
Provide nourishment for the ovum and secrete an oocyte maturation-inhibiting factor
What marks the period of change in females and the time of the first menstrual cycle?
Puberty and menarche
Which hormones lead to the onset of normal monthly sexual cycles in females?
FSH and LH
What is the name of the ovum surrounded by a single layer of granulosa cells?
Primordial follicle
What is the function of epithelial tissue in the body?
Epithelial tissue forms a protective layer on the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in internal organs.
Name the four basic types of animal tissue and give an example of each.
The four basic types of animal tissue are epithelial tissue (e.g., epidermis), connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
What are the three principal shapes of epithelial cells?
The three principal shapes of epithelial cells are squamous (scaly), columnar, and cuboidal.
How are epithelial cells classified based on the arrangement of cells?
Epithelial cells can be classified as simple (a single layer of cells) or stratified (two or more layers of cells), and as squamous, columnar, or cuboidal.
Why may a layer of columnar cells appear to be stratified in some tissues?
A layer of columnar cells may appear to be stratified due to the placement of nuclei at different levels within the cells.
What are the four basic types of animal tissue and give an example of each?
The four basic types of animal tissue are epithelial tissue (example: epidermis), connective tissue (example: bone), muscle tissue (example: cardiac muscle), and nervous tissue (example: brain tissue)
What are the three principal shapes of epithelial cells?
The three principal shapes of epithelial cells are squamous (scaly), columnar, and cuboidal.
How are epithelial cells classified based on the arrangement of cells?
Epithelial cells are classified based on the arrangement of cells as simple (a single layer of cells) or stratified (two or more cells deep)
What is the function of granulosa cells in the primordial follicle?
The function of granulosa cells in the primordial follicle is to support the development of the oocyte and produce estrogen.
Why may a layer of columnar cells appear to be stratified in some tissues?
A layer of columnar cells may appear to be stratified in some tissues due to the placement of their nuclei at different levels, giving the appearance of multiple layers
What is the function of epithelial tissue in the body?
Epithelial tissue functions as a protective layer lining the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in internal organs.
What are the four basic types of animal tissue, and how does epithelial tissue differ from the other types?
The four basic types of animal tissue are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue differs from the other types as it is composed of compactly packed cells with little intercellular matrix, and it lacks blood or lymph supply.
What are the three principal shapes of epithelial cells?
The three principal shapes of epithelial cells are squamous (scaly), columnar, and cuboidal.
How can epithelial cells be arranged in terms of layers, and what are the types of arrangements?
Epithelial cells can be arranged as a singular layer of cells called simple epithelium, which includes simple squamous, simple columnar, or simple cuboidal. They can also be arranged in layers of two or more cells deep, known as stratified (layered) or compound, including squamous, columnar, or cuboidal.
Why might a layer of columnar cells appear to be stratified in some tissues?
In some tissues, a layer of columnar cells may appear to be stratified due to the placement of the cells.
