Tissues- Epithelial

Question 1

short; cells are thin and flat

Answer 1

Squamous

Question 2

cube-shaped

Answer 2

Cuboidal

Question 3

column shaped

Answer 3

Columnar

Question 4

one layer of cells

Answer 4

Simple

Question 5

multiple layers of cells

Answer 5

Stratified

Question 6

looks stratified, isn’t

Answer 6

Psuedostratified

Question 7

Has cilia

Answer 7

Ciliated epithelium

Question 8

hair-like or finger-like projections that “push” things along the apical surface

Answer 8

Cilia

Question 9

secretes some kind of fluid; exocrine and endocrine

Answer 9

Glandular Epithelium

Question 10

secretes things towards the outside of an organ or duct; often has ducts

Answer 10

Exocrine

Question 11

secretes things into bloodstream; has no ducts

Answer 11

Endocrine

Question 12

a single layer of flat cells; typically present along the edges of organs that need specific things allowed in or out (diffusion); found in blood vessels and alveoli

Answer 12

Simple Squamous

Question 13

a single layer of cube-shaped cells with round nuclei in the center; extra shape allows them to absorb and/or secrete things; often found in glands and kidneys

Answer 13

Simple Cuboidal

Question 14

a single layer of column shaped cells with round nuclei int he center; these cells have even “more” space than cuboidal epithelium to absorb and secrete things found in digestive tract and uterus

Answer 14

Simple Columnar

Question 15

a much thicker layer of cells that are still flat on the apical side; primarily there to protect against abrasion in areas were most often, including esophagus and inside of vagina; the skin as this type, but the apical layers are heavily wrapped in the structural protein keratin

Answer 15

Stratified Squamous

Question 16

looks like it has multiple layers, but actually doesn’t; primarily there for debris removal; it’s shape helps it secret fluids like mucus well and it typically has apical cilia; lines the majority of the respiratory tract

Answer 16

Pseudostratifed Epithelium

Question 17

looks similar to to stratified, but the top layers of cells can change dramatically; need to stretch (like bladder)

Answer 17

Transitional Epithelium
