• Most have a good blood supply

• Usually has no vascular tissue

In the human body, skin is the____________organ.

• smallest

• largest

• most useful

Types of tissue are based on the shape of the cells and the layers of cells. If simple means single layer epithelium, stratified means

• square

• cuboidal

• single layers

• multiple layers

As to the type of tissues, which pair is correctly match?

• squamous-flat

• stratified-single layer

• cuboidal-column

If an epithelial tissue has more than one layer of cells, it is classified as

• cuboidal

• stratified

• columnar

• squamous

A type of epithelial tissue, single layer, flat and thin. Its function is for diffusion and filtration and found in air sacs in lungs.

• simple squamous

• simple cubiodal

• simple columnar

• stratified squamous

This epithelial tissue is usually found kidney tubules, ducts and ovary coverings. Its function is for secretion and absorption.

• simple squamous

• simple columnar

• stratified squamous

• simple cuboidal

This epithelium contains scattered goblet cells to secrete mucus and found in digestive tract and uterus. Its function is for secretion and absorption.
