Questions with Correct Answers | Updated
(100% Correct Answers)
Simple Squamous:— Answer: - single layer of flattened cells w/ disc
shaped centered nucei
-allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration
-air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels
Stratified Squamous— Answer: -thick membrane composed of
several thick layers; basal cells are cuboidal or columnar while the
surface cells are flattened
-protects underlying tissue in areas subjected to abrasion
-linings of esophagus, mouth, vagina
Simple Cuboidal:— Answer: -single layer of cube like cells with
large spherical central nuclei
-secretion and absorption
-kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary
surface

-protection
-largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands
Simple Columnar— Answer: -simple layer of tall cells with a circular
or oval nuclei; some cells may have cilia; layer may contain mucus
secreting unicellular glands
-absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes and other substances;
ciliated type propel mucus or reproductive cells
-nonciliaed lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum);
ciliated types line small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of
the uterus
Pseudostratified Columnar— Answer: -single layer of cells of
differing heights, some not reaching the free surface; nuclei seen at
every level
-secretes substances, particularly mucus by ciliary action
-nonciliated type in males sperm carrying ducts; most of upper
respiratory tract
Epithelial Tissue— Answer: sheet of cells that covers a body surface
or lines a body cavity
Connective Tissue— Answer: found in all parts of the body as
discrete structures or as part of various body organs; most
