Explain why pseudostratified epithelium is called such
How do cellular junctions contribute to the overall function of epithelial tissue? Describe at least two type(s) of cell junctions found in epithelium (ie. location, structure, function).
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.
Simple squamous Stratified squamous
Simple cuboidal Stratified cuboidal
Simple columnar Stratified columnar
Pseudostratified columnar Transitional
