What is the apical surface of epithelial tissue exposed to?

The external environment or internal body space

What is the function of the basement membrane to which epithelial tissue is attached?

It acts as a barrier between epithelium and connective tissue.

It acts as a barrier between epithelium and muscle tissue.

It supplies blood vessels to the epithelium.

It decreases the amount of nervous system attachments.

How do epithelial tissues obtain nutrients given their avascularity?

Nutrients obtained across apical surface or from basal surface.

Nutrients are not required for epithelial tissues.

What is a characteristic feature of epithelial tissue regarding innervation?

Richly innervated with a high amount of nervous system attachments.

Poorly innervated with minimal nervous system attachments.

Moderately innervated with an average amount of nervous system attachments.

What is the regeneration capacity of epithelial tissue?

High regeneration capacity with continual replacement of lost cells.

Low regeneration capacity with rare replacement of lost cells.

Moderate regeneration capacity with occasional replacement of lost cells.

No regeneration capacity; lost cells are never replaced.

What does selective permeability of epithelial tissue allow?

Passage of some substances while preventing passage of others

Unrestricted passage of all substances

Complete blockage of all substances

What is the role of specialized cells in epithelial tissue related to secretions?

They are specialized to secrete substances

They conduct electrical impulses

They provide structural support

How does epithelial tissue contribute to sensations?

It supplies information to the nervous system

It contracts to produce movement

How many layers of epithelial cells does stratified epithelium have?

Appears layered but is actually one

What is a characteristic feature of pseudostratified epithelium?

Cells contact basement membrane but may not reach apical surface

Cells do not contact the basement membrane

Multiple layers with no contact to the basement membrane

What is the orientation of the nucleus in columnar cells?

Oriented lengthwise in basal region

Spherical and in the center of the cell

Stratified epithelium is best described as having:

A single layer of tall, narrow cells.

Columnar cells are characterized by:

Being taller than they are wide.

Being wider than they are tall.

What is the characteristic of cells in simple squamous epithelium?

One layer of tall, narrow cells

Multiple layers of cells that change shape when stretched

Two or more layers; cells about as tall as wide

What distinguishes stratified cuboidal epithelium from simple cuboidal epithelium?

Stratified cuboidal has multiple layers of cells about as tall as wide

Stratified cuboidal has a single layer of cells about as tall as wide

Stratified cuboidal has one layer of tall, narrow cells

Stratified cuboidal has multiple layers of cells that change shape when stretched

What is the difference between keratinized and nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium?

Nonkeratinized epithelium has living superficial cells

Keratinized epithelium has living superficial cells

Keratinized epithelium has one layer of cells

Nonkeratinized epithelium has multiple layers of dead cells

Transitional epithelium is characterized by what feature?

Multiple layers of cells that change shape when stretched

One layer of tall, narrow cells

One layer of cells about as tall as wide

What is a characteristic feature of endocrine glands?

They secrete hormones into blood

They are connected with epithelial surface by duct

They are composed of connective tissue

In holocrine glands, how is the secretion released?

By cells disintegrating and becoming the secretion

By pinching off the apical portion of the cell

By filtration through the glandular tissue

Can cartilage regenerate?

Yes, it can regenerate completely

It depends on the type of cartilage

What are the three basic components of connective tissue?

Cells, protein fibers, ground substance

Protein fibers, nucleic acids, cells

Ground substance, enzymes, protein fibers
