Which of the following statements about epithelial tissue is/are TRUE? Cuboidal epithelial cells are fragile, flat and scale-shaped, and specialized for the diffusion of small molecules. A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach. A stratified squamous epithelium is found where mechanical stresses are severe. Epithelial tissue continually repairs and renews itself. The transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder permits the frequent distension and recoil.

Epithelial sheets are classified by their number of cell layers and their cell shape. In the following table, draw simplified illustrations of the eight classifications. In each illustration, identify the cells, nuclei, and basement membrane. For the stratified epithelia, you only need to draw two or three cell layers, as shown in the stratified cuboidal epithelium example provided in the table.

The connective tissue is a Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body. Does the connective tissue have the most diverse functions in our body? Can you list some of its functions and how they can affect the entire body system
No substance can enter or leave the body without crossing an epithelium but epithelia vary in structure according to the function each serves. Contrast the epithelial type lining the intestines with the type lining the esophagus. For each, name the specific type and describe how its structure is perfectly suited to its function.
Fill the blanks with appropriate terms, focusing on Epithelial and Muscular Tissues. It is estimated that the human body has 32, 000, 000, 000, 000 trillion cells. The common goal of working cells/tissues is to maintain homeostasis (the process of maintenance and regulation of our bodies). There are four major types of tissues namely: epithelial, muscular, connective, and nervous. Epithelial tissue is consist of two groups: ___1___ (covering epithelia) and ___2___ (also known as secretory epithelia). This tissue does not have a blood supply known as _3__. Epithelial tissue shape are squamous, columnar and cuboidal. According to arrangement it is classified into simple and stratified. Portion of kidney x-section is made of _4__ epithelium. Stratified cuboidal epithelium are found in _5__ and lining larger tubules. In the innermost layer of artery wall we can see _6__ epithelium. Lining of oral cavity is made of _7_. Large exocrine glands and anorectal…

The ratio of cells to extracellular matrix is a major difference between epíthelial tissues and connective tissues. What relationship between epithelial tissues and connective tissues is important for the survival and function of epithelial tissues? The thick, pink-staining fibers that you are viewing on the photograph are what type of fiber? The very fine, dark-staining (blue purple) fibers are what type of fiber? Most of the cells that you see are fibroblasts. They can be identified by the dark-staining nuclei scattered throughout the specimen. The cytoplasm of these cells stains weakly and cannot be easily identified. Refer to your text and describe the function of these cells. Lack of vitamin Cin the diet interferes with the ability of fibroblasts to produce collagen. How might this affect connective tissue function? rords DFocus
