Columnar (cell shapes)
✓ A long and narrow epithelial cell.
Simple (arrangement)
✓ A cell arrangement where the cells form a single layer, functioning as a thin barrier
through which materials can pass fairly easily.
Stratified (arrangement)
✓ A cell arrangement where the cells form multiple layers. This arrangement is found in
areas subject to wear and tear that require protection.
Pseudostratified (arrangement)
✓ A cell arrangement where the cells seem to form multiple layers but really are not.
Transitional epithelium
✓ Tissue capable of varying a great deal in size and shape and return to it's original form
once the tension is relaxed. (Think of the urinary bladder).
Gland
✓ An organ or cell specialized to produce a substance that is sent out to other parts of the
