epithelial tissue - correct answers-tissue:
cells are avascular (closely packed together,
little or no intercellular material between

,adjacent cells); major roles include
secretion, absorption, protection, and
synthesizing hormones; covers external
body surfaces and lines inner walls of
cavities and organs; has basement
membrane (attachment) and free surface
(exposed side); classified by shape and layer

cuboidal - correct answers-epithelium:
cube-shaped


columnar - correct answers-epithelium:
greater in height than width

, simple - correct answers-epithelium: single
layer


stratified - correct answers-epithelium:
multiple layers


simple squamous - correct answers-
epithelium: singer layer of flat cells; lines
inside wall of blood vessels, forms walls of
capillaries and lung air sacs - absorption by
diffusion, filtration, osmosis; secretion
