All of the following are characteristics of epithelial tissue EXCEPT: contains matrix avascularity covers or lines structures forms glands
The aponeuroses seen in the anterior abdominal wall need to withstand forces of tension mainly in one direction. On the other hand, the tissue surrounding joints are likely to experience tension in multiple planes. What tissue would you expect to find in the joints? : Dense regular connective tissue Areolar connective tissue Dense irregular connective tissue Reticular connective tissue
Describe two structural properties shared by all types of epithelia (but not shared with other types of tissue):
Tissue A: Simple squamous epithelium
Tissue B: Bone tissue
For EACH of the two tissues listed above:
• Give a specific example where each of the tissues below
can be found, including animal and organ location (e.g.
"lining the lumen of a mammal stomach")
• Describe the relationship between structure and function
of the tissue, offering specific details about the tissue's
structure.

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.arrow_forward
