Types of Body Tissue Quiz

Types of Body Tissue

• Epithelial Tissue: Forms skin, glands, and lines body cavities and organs; characterized by closely packed cells with minimal intercellular material. Classified by shape:
  • Squamous: Flat cells
  • Cuboidal: Square cells
  • Columnar: Long, narrow cells
  • Transitional: Stretchable cells
• Connective Tissue: Provides support and binds other tissues; includes types such as:
  • Collagen
  • Bone
  • Cartilage
  • Adipose tissue
  • Ligaments and tendons
  • Blood and lymph
• Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement, separated into:
  • Skeletal Muscle: Striated and voluntary, attached to bones
  • Cardiac Muscle: Striated and involuntary, makes up heart muscle
  • Smooth Muscle: Nonstriated and involuntary, found in walls of blood vessels and hollow organs
• Nervous Tissue: Conducts nerve impulses, enabling rapid communication between structures and control of body functions. Comprised of:
  • Neurons (nerve cells)
  • Neuroglial cells (supportive structures)

Responsibilities in Preparing Examination Rooms

• Equipment Check: Verify area is stocked with equipment and supplies, ensuring all are functional; refer to manufacturer operation manuals if needed.
• Expiration Management: Regularly check and discard expired materials.
• Room Condition: Ensure the room is private, well-lit, and at a comfortable temperature for patients.
• Sanitation: Clean and disinfect the area daily and between patients to prevent infection spread; change examination paper after cleaning the table.
• Preparation for Use: Arrange appropriate supplies (drapes, gowns, instruments) for easy access before patient arrival and ensure all Standard Precautions materials are available.

Responsibilities During Physician Assistance

• Instrument Delivery: Provide instruments and supplies to the physician as needed during examinations.
• Lighting Adjustments: Adjust gooseneck lamp for effective illumination of examination areas.
• Patient Positioning: Position and drape patients appropriately throughout the examination phases.
• Specimen Collection: Assist in obtaining and labeling specimens such as urine and Pap smear samples.
• Follow-up Procedures: Conduct and schedule follow-up diagnostic tests, including ECGs and imaging studies.

Responsibilities in Preparing a Patient for Examination

• Medical Record Check: Ensure completeness of medical records and signed consent forms.
• Patient Interaction: Introduce yourself and address the patient respectfully by their preferred name.
• Insurance Compilation: Gather insurance information following office protocol.
• Specimen Collection: Obtain preordered specimens, such as urine and blood samples.
• Vital Signs Measurement: Measure and record height, weight, BMI, and vital signs accurately.
