1. Epithelial tissue a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a
body cavity
2. special charac- polarity, specialized contacts, supported by connective
teristics of ep- tissue, avascular but innervated, regeneration ithelium
3. classification of simple or stratified; squamous, cuboidal, or columnar
epithelial tissue
4. simple squa- one layer of flattened cells found where filtration or exmous
epithelium change of substances by rapid diffusion is a priority
5. simple cuboidal single layer of cubelike cells where secretion and
absorpepithelium tion are priorities
6. simple columnar single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei, found
epithelium where absorption occurs, and where secretion of mucus,
enzymes, or other enzymes occur

7.
pseudostratified tissue that consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped
columnar and sized cells that give the appearance of multiple layers;
epithelium found in ducts of certain glands and the upper respiratory tract
and secret substances
8. endothelium and simple squamous epithelia found in the lymphatic vessels
mesothelium and all hollow organs of the cardiovascular system
(endothelium) and in serous membranes (mesothelium
9. stratified squa- several layers thick, basal cells are cuboidal or columnar
mous epithelium and metabolically active while surface cells are flattened
and often keratinized; functions to protect underlying
tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
10. transitional resembles both stratified squamous and stratified
epithelium cuboidal is stretch and permits storage of urine in ureters,
bladder, and urethra
11. stratified cuboidal found in ducts and glands, columnar found in the
cuboidal and male urethra and some other glandular ducts
columnar
12. Apical vs Basal top vs bottom
13. gland consists of one or more cells that make and secrete a
particular product
