- What is the difference between Simple Epithelium and Stratified Epithelium as the subtypes of epithelial tissue? provide examples for each.arrow_forwardWhere is the epithelial tissue pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium located? What does the four letters mean? How would you recognize this tissue under a microscope? How does this function and why is the epithelial built like the way it is?arrow_forwardEpithelial 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.
