scar tissue

The type of epithelial tissue found lining organs of the digestive system such as the small intestines is ________.

simple columnar

A tissue constructed of a single layer of flattened cells is known as ________.

simple squamous epithelium

The type of muscle found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the stomach, and in the walls of blood vessels is ________.

smooth muscle

Which tissue performs peristalsis to move substances, such as food, through the hollow organs of the body?

smooth muscle tissue

Many layers of flattened cells should be termed ________ epithelial tissue

stratified squamous

Which of the following epithelial tissues is composed of many layers of cells?

stratified squamous epithelium

Groups of cells that are similar in both structure and function are known as ________.

tissues

Which type of tissue is situated in the lining of the urinary bladder and urethra where stretching occurs?

transitional epithelium

The illustration of skeletal muscle tissue is ________.

Label E

Describe the naming scheme for epithelial tissues.

Epithelial tissues are named based on two features: the number of cell layers and the predominant cell shape. If the epithelial tissue has one layer, it is called a simple tissue. Two or more layers qualifies the tissue as stratified. Cells can be flat in shape (squamous), cube-shaped (cuboidal), or brick-shaped (columnar). The viewer should look toward the apical surface for the most mature cells in the tissue for the cell shape. When naming the epithelial tissue, place the number of cell layers first (such as simple) followed by the cell shape (such as squamous).

________ glands possess ducts that transport secretions onto epithelial surfaces.

Exocrine

True or False Epithelial tissues are often well vascularized and contain an extracellular matrix.

False

True or False Stratified epithelium consists of one layer of epithelial cells.

False

Muscle tissue is located in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
