Q

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium - Function

A

This tissue is made of a single layer of taller cells that line an opening. It looks like multi-layered tissue because the nuclei are at different levels, but it is actually a single layer. Goblet cells secrete mucus.

Q

Stratified Squamous Epithelium - Function

A

This tissue is made of multiple layers of flattened cells. The bottom cells are taller, but the top cells are very flat and lack nuclei because they have died

Q

Transitional Epithelium - Function

A

This tissue is made of multiple layers of cuboidal type cells. Nuclei are clearly visible on even the outermost layer. The cells that immediately line the opening are called dome cells, and they have a dome shape

Q

Adipose Connective Tissue - Function

A

This tissue is made of cells called adipocytes that have a large blob of fat in the center. There is very little cytoplasm and the nucleus is pushed to the side.
