Simple epithelium
Simple epithelial cells are characteristics of regions where…
Secretion and absorption occur
From a surface view, cells that look like fried eggs laid side by side are…
Squamous epithelium
Stratified epithelium has several cell layers above the basal lamina and is usually found in areas where…
Mechanical or chemical stresses occur
Cells that form a neat row with nuclei near the center of each cell and that appears square in typical sectional views are…
Cuboidal epithelium
The major structural difference between columnar epithelia and cuboidal epithelia that the columnar epithelia…
Are taller and slender and the nuclei are crowded into a narrow band close to the basement membrane

Plasma, interstitial fluid, and lymph
Bone functions as a supporting connective tissue because…
- The collagen fibers act like steel reinforcing rods
- The mineralized matrix acts like concrete
- Minerals surrounding the collagen fibers produce a strong, flexible combination that is highly resistant to shattering
