Question 5

epithelial cells are classified into 2 categories, this type of epithelial tissue covers all free body surfaces, inside and outside

Answer 5

covering or lining tissues

Question 6

epithelial cells are classified into 2 categories, this type of epithelial tissues secrete materials such as digestive tissues, hormones, milk, and sweat

Answer 6

glandular or secretory tissues

Question 6

the anchored surface where epithelium rests, and lies on a basement membrane.
- considered the “glue” for holding the epithelium in place

Answer 6

basal surface

Question 7

free or unattached surface, exposed to the body’s exterior
- some have microvilli or cilia

Answer 7

apical surface

Question 8
