Which epithelial tissue would have the fastest absorption rate?

• Simple squamous

• Stratified squamous

• Simple columnar

• Pseudo-stratified

What are the 2 categories of epithelial tissue? (Pick 2 answers)

• Stratified/simple

• Covering/lining

• Apical/basal

• Glandular (glands)

Select ALL the characteristics of epithelial tissue

• Cells are closely packed together

• Lack a blood supply 

• Possess little extracellular fluid 

• Examples are bone, blood and muscle 

This structure will "glue" the epithelial tissue cells to the surface it is covering. 

• Basement Membrane
• Basal surface
• Reticular lamina 
• Apical surface 

What are the 2 layers of the basement membrane?

• Basal surface

• Reticular lamina

• Apical surface

• Basal lamina

What is the name of the top surface of an epithelial tissue cell?

• Basal surface
• Basement membrane 
• Reticular lamina 
• Apical surface 

THINK: This type of epithelial tissue layering is located in areas of high wear and tear.

• Simple

• Columnar

• Pseudostratified

• Stratified

This term means "lacking blood vessels"

• Basal lamina 
• Avascular 
• Histology 
• Apical 

When naming epithelial tissue, which of the following is NOT considered a cell shape.

• Pseudostratified

• Squamous

• Cuboidal

• Columnar
