What classification of epithelial tissue is shown in the image?
simple cuboidal
What is the topmost surface of epithelium tissue also known as the free surface called?
apicalsurface
What is the bottomest layer of the epithelium tissues?
basement membrane
What do you call the surface of the cell that is anchored in place?
basal surface
What do you call where the epithelial cells are attached to each other?
lateral surface
Epithelial tissue is __ because it doesn't have blood vessels or it does not penetrate blood vessels. What is in the blank?
avascular
What type of junction is find between each of the cells' membranes, holding them together?
tight junctions
What junction are small spaces that go between the cells?They are located deep in the tight junctions.
adhering junction
What junction is the small button- or snap-like junctions? They do not encircle the entire cell.
desmosomes
What junction consists of a series of hollow bridging structures. This is where small pores connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cell.
gap junction
What junction anchors the cell to the basement membrane?
hemidesmosomes
What is being described?
single layer of flat, hexagonal cells
nuclei looks like bumps
simplesquamous
What type of epithelial tissue functions as diffusion, filtration, protection against friction, and secretion?
simple squamous epithelium
What is being described?
has more organelles compared to squamous type
others may have cilia and microvilli
simple cuboidal
What type of epithelial tissue functions as absorption and movement of particles?
simple cuboidal
What is being described?
contain organelles that enable them to perform complex functions
some have cilia or microvilli
it has goblet cells
simple columnar
What type epithelial tissue functions as movement of particles, secretion, and absorption?
simple columnar epithelium
What is being described?
all cells contact the basal lamina/surface, but only some reach the apical surface
cells are varying of heights and their nuclei are at different position in the epithelium
pseudostratified epithelium
What is being described?
Several layers of cells that are cuboidal in the basal layer and progressively flattened towards the surface.
stratified squamous epithelium
This stratified squamous epithelium contains dead cells and the cytoplasm at the surface is replaced by a protein called keratin. What is being described?
keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
This stratified squamous epithelium is moist and the surface cells retain a nucleus and cytoplasm. What is being described?
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What is being described?
More than one layer of epithelial cells, but only the surface cells are columnar; deeper layer cells are irregular or cuboidal in shape.
stratified columnar epithelium
What is being described?
Stratified cells that appear cuboidal when the organ or tube is stretched by fluid
