1) Stratified epithelium consists of one layer of epithelial cells.

2) Epithelial tissues are avascular.
3) Muscle tissue always has 1 free surface called an apical surface.
4) Nervous tissue consists of living cells surrounded by a non-living extracellular
matrix.
5) The function of muscle tissue is to lengthen (relax) to produce movement.
6) Under the microscope nervous tissue cells appear as long, cylindrical cells that are
multinucleated and possess obvious striations.
7) The matrix of osseous tissue consists of collagen fibers and calcium salt deposits
surrounding lacunae.
8) Smooth muscle cells are uninucleate, spindle-shaped cells that lack striations.
9) Reticular connective tissue makes up the internal structure of lymphoid organs (i.e.
spleen, lymph nodes).
10) The external ear is largely made up of hyaline cartilage.
