What are the four main types of epithelial tissue?

Back

1. Simple Squamous 2. Cuboidal 3. Columnar 4. Stratified

Front

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

Back

To cover and protect surfaces, absorb substances, and secrete materials.

Front

What is the difference between simple and stratified epithelial tissue?

Back

Simple epithelial tissue has a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelial tissue has multiple layers.

Front

What is the role of microvilli in epithelial cells?

Back

Microvilli increase the surface area for absorption.

Front

What is the role of cilia in epithelial cells?

Back

Cilia help in moving substances across the epithelial surface.

Front

What type of epithelial tissue is specialized for secretion and absorption?

Back

Simple cuboidal epithelium.

Front

What type of connective tissue stores fat?

Back

Adipose tissue.

Front

What is the most abundant type of connective tissue in the body?

Back

Front

What type of muscle tissue is involuntary and found in the walls of hollow organs?

Back

Smooth muscle tissue.

Front

What is the function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium?

Back

To secrete mucus and move it with cilia, primarily found in the respiratory tract.
