Solution: Based on cell shape, epithelial tissues can be divided into four categories including:
1)squamous which are thin and flat, 2)cuboidal which are similar in width and height,
3)columnar are taller than they are wide and 4)transitional which can change shape from
cuboidal to squamous and back again. Epithelial tissues can also be categorized based on the
number of layers of cells found in the tissue. These categories include: 1)simple which means a
single layer of cells, 2)stratified which is two or more layers of cells and 3)pseudostratified
which is one layer of cells that appears multi-layered due to the arrangement of the nuclei in the
cells.

Solution: Each osteon includes lamellae, lacunae, canaliculi and a Haversian canal. The lamellae
are concentric rings of matrix that consist of mineral salts and collagen fibers. Lacunae are small
spaces between lamellae that contain mature bone cells called osteocytes. Projecting from the
lacunae are canaliculi, which are networks of minute canals containing the processes of
osteocytes. Canaliculi provide routes for nutrients to reach osteocytes and for wastes to leave
them. A central Haversian canal contains blood vessels and nerves.

Solution: Both cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues are striated and smooth muscle is not, hence
its name. Skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus and are large and run parallel to each
other. Cardiac muscle cells usually have only one nucleus and are branched. They also are
connected to each other via gap junctions and desmosomes. This area is known as the
intercalated discs. Smooth muscle cells are small spindle-shaped cells that form thick layers
around the hollow organs. Like cardiac muscle cells, some smooth muscle cells communicate via
gap junctions. Skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled while both cardiac and smooth muscle
tissue are involuntary.

Solution: The secretory product (hormones) of endocrine glands enters the interstitial fluid and
then diffuses into the blood without going through a duct. Exocrine glands secrete their products
into ducts that empty onto the surface of a covering or the lumen of a hollow organ. Sweat, oil,
earwax, saliva and digestive enzymes are typical exocrine gland secretions.
