Quiz 2 - Types of Epithelial tissues

Question 1

simple squamous

Answer 1

very delicate, reduces friction, absorbs and secretes materials (locations: line body cavities, heart, blood vessels, alveoli of lungs)

Question 2

Stratified squamous

Answer 2

in areas of severe mechanical stress (exposed body surfaces)

Question 3

keratinized

Answer 3

surface of skin

Question 4

non-keratinized

Answer 4

lines mouth, esophagus, anus, vagina

Question 5

simple cuboidal

Answer 5

performs secretions and absorptions (locations: thyroid gland, ducts, kidney tubules)

Question 6

simple columnar

Answer 6

secretion, absorption, protection (locations: lining of stomach, intestines, uterine tubes)

Question 7

pseudostratified columnar

Answer 7

nucleus situated at different levels (locations: nasal cavity, trace, bronchi)

Question 8

transitional

Answer 8

can stretch extensively, consists of many layers of irregularly shaped cells (locations: urinary bladder, ureter)

Question 9

glandular epithelium

Answer 9

produce and secrete materials/fluids

Question 10

types of secretions from glandular epithelium

Answer 10

endocrine glands and exocrine glands

Question 11

endocrine glands

Answer 11

secretions enter into the blood or lymph

Question 12

exocrine glands

Answer 12

secretions travel through ducts to the epithelial surface

Question 13

types of exocrine glands

Answer 13

serous, mucous, mixed

Question 14

serous

Answer 14

secrete watery fluid rich in enzymes

Question 15

mucous

Answer 15

secretes glycoporteins (mucins) that absorb water to produce mucus

Question 16

mixed

Answer 16

contains both serous and mucous secretions

Question 17

modes of secretion

Answer 17

merocrine, apocrine, holocrine

Question 18

merocrine

Answer 18

secretions released through exocytosis

Question 19

aprocrine

Answer 19

secretions released via the loss of cytoplasm

Question 20

holocrine

Answer 20

secretions released upon bursting of glandular cells
