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

Term used to describe that epithelial tissues have no blood supply and rely on the diffusion from the capillaries in the underlying connective tissues for nutrients and oxygen

Answer 8

avascular

Answer 11

simple columnar epithelium

Question 12

a single layer of cells with differing heights, some not reaching the apical surface

Answer 12

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Question 13

several cell layers wherein surface cells are squamous and basal cells are cuboidal or columnar and metabolically active

Answer 13

stratified squamous epithelium

Question 14

resembles both stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal
