Chapter 3: Epithelial Tissues

What are body tissues?

• A group of cells with similar structure and function.

• Capillaries migrated together

The 4 primary types of tissues are

• Protection, absorption, filtration, secretion

• Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

• Simple, stratified, single, flat

• Flat, cube shaped, column like, round

Where is epithelial tissue located in the body?

• Coverings, lining, glands

• Glands, mouth, esophagus

• Kidney, glands, lining

• Nerves, skin, ducts

What are the four functions of the Epithelial Tissue?

• Protection, absorption,secretion, blood supply

• Protection, absorption,filtration, secretion

• Protection, absorption, stretching,reproducing

• Protection, absorption, urinating, bonding

Which one is NOT a characteristic of Epithelium?

• Cells fit closely together and often form sheets

• The apical surface is the free surface of the tissue

• The lower surface of the epithelium rests on a basement membrane.

• It usually forms membranes.

• Avascular(no blood supply) and regenerates easily.

Epithelia tissues have how many SIMPLE cell layers?

• none

• one

• More than one

Epithelia cell tissues have how many STRATIFIED cell layers?

• None

• One

• More than one

In Classifying the shape of cells in Epithelia tissues which one is NOT a correct shape?

• round

• Squamous-flat

• Cuboidal

• Columnar

What is simple squamous?

• A single layer of flat cells that usually forms membranes.

• A single layer of cube like cells that usually forms membranes.

• Walls of kidney tubes that secrete membranes.

• lining of the skin that usually forms membranes.

Simple Squamous functions in all of these EXCEPT?

• Diffusion

• Filtration

• Secretion

• Reproduction
