Anatomical Terms and Basic Tissues – Exam Study Guide
What is a body compartment?
A region within the limbs that is separated by joints and fascia (CT – Saran wrap around the
muscle).
What do the muscles within the same body compartment have in common?
Any muscle within a compartment will share developmental origins, function, and innervation
(same nerve will supply all muscles in the compartment)
What are the four basic tissues that make up the body? Define each type.
Nervous
- Controls your body
Muscle tissue
- Produces motion
Epithelial tissue
- Covers the body
Connective tissue
- Supports the body and forms structure
What is the basic function for nervous tissue body? What are some examples of nervous
tissue?
Internal Communication
- Brain, spinal cord, nerves
What is the basic function for muscle tissue body? What are some examples of muscle
tissue?
Contracts to cause movement
- Skeletal muscles (Attached to bones)
Describe the physical characteristic of the Simple Squamous Epithelium, where it’s
located, and it’s general function.

- Skeletal muscles (Attached to bones)
- Cardiac muscles (Muscles of the heart)
- Smooth muscles (Muscles of walls of hollow organs)
What is the basic function for epithelial tissue body? What are some examples of
epithelial tissue?
Forms boundaries b/w different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters
- Lining of digestive tract and other organs
- Skin surface
What is the basic function for connective tissue body? What are some examples of
connective tissue?
Supports and protects the body while binding other tissues together
- Bones, tendons, fat, other soft padding tissue
How is epithelial tissue classified?
First by number of layers, then by the shape of cells.
What is the difference between Simple Epithelium, Stratified Epithelium, and
Pseudostratified Epithelium?
Simple epithelium - 1 layer
Stratified epithelium - 2 layers
Pseudostratified epithelium - Appears stratified but all cells contact membrane
Describe the physical characteristic of the Simple Squamous Epithelium, where it’s
located, and it’s general function.
1 layer and flat. Located in the air sacs of lungs, vessels, lining of the heart & allows materials
to diffuse/filter through and secretes a lubricating substance.
