endothelium
The basement membrane, which is located between the
epithelial and connective tissue layers
Epithelial tissue __________.
is avascular
The cells of stratified squamous epithelium contain the protein
karatin so are said to be keratinized.
What protein does stratified epithelia cells produce?
keratin
Cuboidal cells function is to
lining glands and tubules, where they function in absorption and secretion
Columnar cells may have a variety of modifications such as
microvilli and cilia at one end of the cell
Epithelia are classified and identified by ________ and ____________.
number of cell layers; general shape
Which of the following is NOT a function of simple epithelium? A.)absorption B.)secretion C.)diffusion D.)protection
protection
Squamous cells function is
protection, secretion, or diffusion
The function of stratified squamous epithelial tissue is to
provide a physical barrier to protect against chronic friction and abrasion, infection by pathogens, and chemical attack.
Which type of epithelium lines the nasal cavity, the trachea, bronchi, and parts of the male reproductive tract?
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What type of epithelium lines most of the digestive tract?
simple columnar
Which type of epithelium when viewed under a microscope appears to have cube-shaped cells organized into rings to form ducts and tubules?
simple cuboidal epithelia
Which type of epithelium lines the blood vessels and the heart chambers, and is also called the endothelium?
simple squamous epithelium
The functions of the epithelia include all of the following, EXCEPT _____________. A.)providing physical protection B.)storing energy reserves C.)controlling permeability D.)absorption
storing energy reserves
Which type of epithelium is found in parts of mammary glands?
stratified columnar epithelium
What type of epithelium appears to be two layers thick and looks like a doughnut?
stratified cuboidal epithelium
Which type of epithelium is uncommon and is found only in the ducts of certain sweat glands?
stratified cuboidal epithelium
This "category" of epithelia is found in areas exposed to abrasion and friction.
stratified epithelia
Areas of the body that are subject to chronic abrasion and friction often contain
stratified squamous epithelium
The skin, the vagina, and the mouth are all examples of body areas lined with
stratified squamous epithelium.
Which type of epithelium is found lining the urinary bladder?
transitional epithelium
Stratified transitional epithelium lines the
urinary bladder, allowing this organ to stretch then return to its original shape.
What is the function of the basement membrane?
Adheres the superficial epithelial tissues onto underlying connective tissue.
The type of tissue that is typically found as a lining to a cavity or a covering to an organ is _____.
Epithelial
Goblet cells are located in the pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lining the respiratory tract and in the simple columnar epithelium found in the stomach and small intestine. What is the function of goblet cells?
Goblet cells function as a unicellular mucus-secreting gland.
The field of study that focuses on tissues is _____.
Histology
Four major types of body tissues?
Neural Epithelial Connective Muscle
What lines the nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Which type of tissue lines most of the gastrointestinal tract and the gallbladder?
Simple columnar epithelium
Which type of tissue is located in the thyroid gland and renal tubules?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
The lungs and blood vessels are areas in which rapid diffusion of gases and/or nutrients must occur. Based on anatomical structure, which type of tissue is most logically found in these areas?
Simple squamous epithelium
Which of the following statements is FALSE? A.)The point of attachment between the superficial epithelium and deeper connective tissue is called the basement membrane. B.)All cells of a pseudostratified epithelium are attached to the basement membrane. C.)Stratified transitional epithelium lines the urinary bladder, allowing this organ to stretch then return to its original shape. D.)Simple squamous epithelium is most likely to line areas of the body that are subject to wear and tear such as the esophagus, vagina, and soles of the feet.
Simple squamous epithelium is most likely to line areas of the body that are subject to wear and tear such as the esophagus, vagina, and soles of the feet.
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in all of the following areas of the body EXCEPT the
Skin
Which of the following is NOT one of the four major types of body tissue? A.)Neural B.)Epithelial C.)Skin D.)Connective E.)Muscle
Skin
Which type of epithelial cell is flat and irregularly shaped and typically functions in protection, secretion, or diffusion?
Squamous
While observing a tissue under the microscope, you notice a few layers of column-shaped cells. The nuclei located within the cells are fairly evenly dispersed in the middle of the cell or closer to the basal surface. How would you classify this tissue?
Stratified columnar epithelium
While observing a tissue under the microscope, you notice two layers of cells that are more square shaped than round. How would you classify this tissue?
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Which type of tissue provides a physical barrier that functions to protect against abrasion and attacks by pathogens and chemicals?
Stratified squamous epithelium
Epithelial tissues are avascular. How do the cells of this tissue obtain nutrients and other vital substances?
The cells of the epithelium acquire nutrients and other vital substances through diffusion from the underlying connective tissue layer. *Avascular means that there are no blood vessels present in epithelial tissue.
What is the advantage to having transitional epithelium lining the urinary bladder?
Transitional tissue allows the urinary bladder to stretch when filled with urine and then shrink back to its original shape when the bladder is emptied.
