stratified squamous

Answer 5

two or more layers. apical layers are squamous but deeper layers are cuboidal or columnar

Question 6

stratified cuboidal

Question 7

stratified columnar

Answer 7

only apical layer has columnar shaped cells, deeper layers are irregular shaped

Question 8

stratified transitional (transitional)

Answer 8

has variable appearance and diff layers. un stretched state appears cuboidal. when stretched appears squamous

Question 9

non ciliated pseudostratified columnar

Answer 9

appears to have several layers bc some cells do not extend to surface but only has one nucleus at diff layers

Question 13

ciliated pseudostratified columnar

Answer 13

appears to have several layers bc some cells do not extend to surface but only has one has fringe at top layer
