Question 1

The kidney consists of

Answer 1

An Outer cortex and inner medulla

Question 2

What is in the cortex

Answer 2

There are rounded structures with glomeruli inside and are surrounded bowman’s capsule

Question 3

Bowman’s capsule is lined by

Answer 3

Simple squamous epithelium

Question 4

What is the function of the endothelium of the glomeruli

Answer 4

Filtration

Question 5

What are the locations of simple cuboidal epithelium

Answer 5

• surface of ovaries
• wall of thyroid follicles
• proximal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of kidney
• ducts of salivary glands

Question 6

Simple columnar epithelium location

Answer 6

• lining of stomach and small and large intestine

- endometrial glands in the uterus

Question 7

Location of simple ciliated columnar epithelium

Answer 7

Lining of the fallopian tube

Question 8

-Single layer of cells all are touching basement membrane
-only tall cells reach the apical surface
-may contain goblet cells and bear cilia
-nuclei lie at varying heights within cell
-gives false impression of stratification
These are definition of what

Answer 8

Pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium

Question 9

Location of non-ciliated pseudo-stratified

Answer 9

Ducts of male reproductive tubes e.g./epididymis and vas deference

Question 10

Location of ciliated pseudo-stratified

Answer 10

Lining of trachea and most of upper respiratory tract

Question 11

Location of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 11

Epidermis (skin)

Question 12

Location of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium

Answer 12

Lining of esophagus, mouth(oral cavity), and vagina

Question 13

Composition of stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 13

2 layers of cube-shaped cells with single round nucleus

Question 14

Location of stratified cuboidal epithelium

Answer 14

Large ducts of exocrine glands: salivary gland, sweat glands, lactiferous duct

Question 15

Location of stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 15

• upper part of male urethra

- ocular conjunctiva

Question 16

Description of transitional epithelium

Answer 16

• basal cells usually cuboidal or columnar

- superficial cells dome-shaped or squamous according to its physiological state.

Question 17

Function of transitional epithelium

Answer 17

Stretches and permits distention of urinary bladder

Question 18

Location of transitional epithelium

Answer 18

Lining of renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder and part of urethra

Question 19

Location of simple squamous epithelium

Answer 19

• Alveoli in lungs
• Wall of capillaries
• Lining lumen of blood vessels/called endothelium
• Lining of body cavities: pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal/ called mesothelium
