Q

Single layer of cells, some cells are tall and thin and reach the free surface, and others do not

A

Pseudostratified epithelium

18
Q

The nuclei oof these cells are at different levels and appear stratified

A

Pseudostratified epithelium

19
Q

the cells are almost always ciliated and are associated with goblet cells that secrete mucus onto the free surface

A

Pseudostratified epithelium

20
Q

Synthesize and secrete mucus onto the free surface and move mucus that contains foreign particles over the surface of the free surface and from passages

A

Pseudostratified epithelium

21
Q

Lining of nasal cavity, nasal sinuses, auditory tubes, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi of lungs

A

Pseudostratified epithelium

22
Q

Several layers of cells are cuboidal in the basal layer and progressively flattened towards the surface.

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

23
Q

Can be nonkeratinized (moist) or keratinized

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

24
Q

In nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, the nonkeratinized surface cells retains what?

A

nucleus and cytoplasm

25
Q

In keratinized stratified epithelium, the cytoplasm of cells at the surface is replaced by a protein called ________

A

keratin

26
Q

Protects against abrasion, forms a barrier against infections, and reduces loss of water from the body

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

27
Q

Stratified squamous epithelium: keratinized

29
Q

Consists of more than one layer of cuboidal epithelial cells

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

30
Q

This epithelial type is
relatively rare and is found
in sweat gland ducts,
ovarian follicular cells, and
the salivary glands.

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

31
Q

It functions in absorption,
secretion, and protection.

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

32
Q

consists of more than
one layer of epithelial
cells, but only the surface
cells are columnar

A

Stratified columnar epithelium

33
Q

Stratified cells that appear cuboidal when the organ or tube is not stretched and squamous when the organ of the tube is stretched by fluid

A

Transitional epithelium

34
Q

Accommodates fluctuations in the volume of fluid in an organ or a tube; protects against the caustic effects of urine

A

Transitional epithelium

35
Q

Lining of urinary bladder, ureters, and superior urethra

A
