Solved Unit 6: Histology Worksheet 1. Use the list of terms ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this Histology Worksheet step by step.

Question 1: Label the illustration using the provided terms

#### Given Terms:
- cuboidal cell
- columnar cell
- squamous cell
- simple epithelium
- stratified epithelium

We are given a diagram with five labeled parts (a, b, c, d, e). Let’s analyze each:

---

a. This is a single layer of flat cells, which are squamous in shape. This is characteristic of simple squamous epithelium.
→ So, a = simple epithelium (specifically, simple squamous), but since "simple epithelium" is one of the choices and describes the layer, we use that. The individual cells are squamous cells.

But wait — the labels are for the structures, not necessarily the individual cells. Let’s look carefully.

Looking at the images:

- a: One layer of flat cells → Simple squamous epithelium → so label a = simple epithelium
- b: Multiple layers of cells, with top layer flat → Stratified squamous epithelium → so b = stratified epithelium
- c: A single cell that is flat and thin → Squamous cell
- d: A single cell that is cube-shaped → Cuboidal cell
- e: A single cell that is tall and column-like → Columnar cell

So now let’s assign:

> a. simple epithelium
> b. stratified epithelium
> c. squamous cell
> d. cuboidal cell
> e. columnar cell

✔ These match the images correctly.

✔ Answer to Question 1:

- a. simple epithelium
- b. stratified epithelium
- c. squamous cell
- d. cuboidal cell
- e. columnar cell

Question 2: Match characteristics with connective tissue types

Given:

| Characteristic | Connective Tissue |
|----------------|--------------------|
| a. parallel arrangement of collagen fibers | 1. cartilage |
| b. transports oxygen and hormones | 2. dense regular connective tissue |
| c. contains chondrocytes | 3. adipose tissue |
| d. stores minerals | 4. blood |
| e. random arrangement of collagen fibers | 5. bone |
| f. cushions and insulates | 6. dense irregular connective tissue |

Now let’s match each letter to the correct number.

---

a. parallel arrangement of collagen fibers
→ This is dense regular connective tissue (like tendons and ligaments)
→ Match: 2

b. transports oxygen and hormones
→ Blood carries oxygen and hormones
→ Match: 4

c. contains chondrocytes
→ Chondrocytes are cells found in cartilage
→ Match: 1

d. stores minerals
→ Bone stores calcium and other minerals
→ Match: 5

e. random arrangement of collagen fibers
→ Dense irregular connective tissue (found in skin dermis, etc.) has randomly arranged fibers
→ Match: 6

f. cushions and insulates
→ Adipose tissue (fat) provides cushioning and insulation
→ Match: 3

✔ Answer to Question 2:

| Letter | Match |
|--------|-------|
| a | 2 |
| b | 4 |
| c | 1 |
| d | 5 |
| e | 6 |
| f | 3 |

So the completed matching is:

- a. 2
- b. 4
- c. 1
- d. 5
- e. 6
- f. 3

---

✔ Final Answers:

#### Question 1:
- a. simple epithelium
- b. stratified epithelium
- c. squamous cell
- d. cuboidal cell
- e. columnar cell

#### Question 2:
- a. 2
- b. 4
- c. 1
- d. 5
- e. 6
- f. 3
