16
Q
  • Single cell layer
  • Found where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur
  • A thin epithelial barrier is desirable
A

Simple epithelium

17
Q
  • Consists of two or more cells.
  • It regenerates from below and more durable than simple epithelia
A

Stratified epithelium

18
Q
  • Forms a thick epithelium because it consists of many layers of cells.
  • Cells divide in the deeper layers, and newer cells push older ones farther outward, where they flatten.
A

Stratified squamous

19

23
Q

a thin sheet or layer of tissue that covers a structures.

A

Tissue membrane

24
Q

Three major categories of tissue membrane

A

Mucous
Serous
Synovial

25
Q

Line cavities that open to the outside and often contain mucous glands which secretes mucus.

A

Mucous

26
Q

line the trunk cavities and cover the organs located within these cavities.

A

Serouse

27
Q

line the joint cavities

A

Synovial

28
Q

The substitution of viable cells for dead cells.

A

Tissue repair

29
Q
