A

Pseudostratified Columnar

34
Q

Why is Simple Squamous good for lining the lungs and blood vessels?

A

It is one layer of thin cells, so gases can easily pass through them

35
Q

What Epithelial Tissue is best for lining the lungs and blood vessels?

A

Simple Squamous

36
Q

Why is Simple Cuboidal good for lining the kidneys?

A

They are good at absorbing substances, and kidneys absorb a lot of water

37
Q

What Epithelial Tissue is best for lining the kidneys?

A

Simple Cuboidal

38
Q

Why is Simple Columnar good for lining the intestines?

A

They are good at absorbing mucus, which the stomach creates a lot of

39
Q

What Epithelial Tissue is best for lining the intestines?

A

Simple Columnar

40
Q

Why is Stratified Squamous good for lining the skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina?

A

It has many thin layers, which means it is good for high-abrasion areas

41
Q

What Epithelial Tissue is best for lining the skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina?

A

Stratified Squamous

42
Q

What 2 Epithelial Tissues are extremely rare?

A

Stratified Cuboidal

44
Q

What Epithelial Tissue is best for the pharynx?

A

Stratified Columnar

45
Q

Why is Pseudostratified Columnar good for lining the trachea and fallopian tubes?

A

It secretes substances, but also pushes away substances, which is helpful for moving dust in the trachea and eggs in the fallopian tubes

46

What Epithelial Tissue is best for lining the trachea and fallopian tubes?

A

Pseudostratified Columnar
