Basic Histology
1. What is the logical order in
which the concepts of atoms,
molecules, cells... up to
biosphere are associated?
2. From the zygote,
pluricellular organisms are
formed by serial mitosis.
Would this formation be
possible if each cell made by
mitosis had an identical life in
relation to its antecedent
cells? How did evolution solve
that problem?
3. What are the main types of
animal tissue?
4. What are epithelial tissues?
What are their general
function and how is that
function associated to the
features of the tissue?
5. Of which cells is the
nervous tissue constituted?
How is the generic function of
this tissue related to the
characteristics of the main cell
type that forms it?
6. What are muscle tissues?
How is the function of this
tissue related to the typical
characteristics of its cells?
7. What is the typical
biological function of the
connective tissues? How is
this function associated to the
main features of its cells?
8. Of which type of tissue are
cartilages and bones made?
9. Are the cells of the
connective tissue far or near
to the others?
10. What are the general
functions of the connective
tissues?
11. What is connective tissue
proper?
12. What are the main cells of
the connective tissue proper?
What is the name given to the
intercellular material that
surround these cells?
13. What are the three types
of protein fibers of the
connective tissue proper?
14. What is the function of the
collagen fibers of the
connective tissue?
15. Of which substance do
elastic fibers of the connective
tissue are made? What are
some functions of these
fibers?
16. What are the reticular
fibers of the connective tissue
and where can they be found?
17. What are diseases of the
connective tissue? What are
some of them?
