Cells of the same type and structure form tissues, each of which has a special function. The student nurse is reviewing the four principal types of human body tissues and their basic functions.
 
  A client asks what the function of connective tissue in the body is. Based on this information, which is the best description of the function of connective tissue? A) Protects body parts and produces secretions
  B) Anchors and supports other body structures
  C) Provides movement of the body
  D) Conducts impulses to and from all parts of the body

Question 2

A middle-school student asks her mom, who is a student nurse, to explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Based on this information, what is the best explanation of the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
 
  1 . In mitosis, cells divide into four parts to reproduce themselves. Each of the daughter and son cells is unique and differs from the mother and father cells.
  2 . In meiosis, cell division produces eggs or sperm that contain half the total number of chromosomes.
  3 . In mitosis, cells divide into two parts to reproduce themselves. Each of the daughter cells is an exact genetic duplicate of the original or mother cell.
  4 . In meiosis, cell division produces chromosomes for the body's growth, repair, and replacement of injured and dead tissues.
  A) 1, 2
  B) 1, 4
  C) 2, 3
  D) 3, 4

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Connective tissue anchors and supports other body structures. Epithelial tissue protects body parts and produces secretions. Blood is a special type of connective tissue that brings food and oxygen to the cells and carries wastes away. Muscle tissue provides movement of the body. Nerve tissue conducts impulses to and from all parts of the body.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Through a complicated process called mitosis, cells divide into two parts to reproduce themselves. Each of the daughter cells is an exact genetic duplicate of the original or mother cell. The body can be thought of as a group of cells, and mitosis is responsible for the body's growth, repair, and replacement of injured and dead tissues. In meiosis, cell division produces eggs or sperm that contain half the total number (23) of chromosomes.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
