ASU BIO 201- Histology| Quizzes with 100% Correct
Solutions & Verified
Epithelial tissue - ANSWER Covers the body surface, covers and lines internal organs,
and forms glands
Protection, absorption, and secretion
Avascular
Lumen - ANSWER Open space
Apical surface - ANSWER Exposed surface
Basal surface - ANSWER Sits on basement membrane
Basement membrane - ANSWER
Cilia - ANSWER Hair-like projections that beat in unison to propel substances
Microvilli - ANSWER Short slender cell processes that increase the surface area available
for absorption of nutrients
Simple epithelium - ANSWER Single layer of cells
Simple squamous epithelium - ANSWER Very thin and flat
Easy movement of molecules across the membrane
Kidney, alveoli of lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and serous
membranes
, Simple cuboidal epithelium - ANSWER Cube-shaped
Kidney tubules, small ducts and glands, ovary
Simple columnar epithelium - ANSWER Column-shaped
Lining of digestive tract (have microvilli), gallbladder, ducts of large glands, and small
bronchi and uterine tubes (have cilia)
Pseudostratified columnar - ANSWER Falsely layered
Trachea and upper respiratory tract (ciliated)
Male reproductive ducts (ciliated and non-ciliated)
Ducts of large glands (non-ciliated)
Stratified epithelium - ANSWER Multiple layers of cells
Stratified squamous keratinized - ANSWER Deepest layers are almost cuboidal and
actively dividing
Upper layers are dead and filled with keratin for protection
Epidermis of the skin
Stratified squamous non-keratinized - ANSWER Upper layers of cells do not die or have
keratin
Protects underlying tissues
Esophagus, vagina, and mouth
Transitional - ANSWER Stratified
Allows for stretching
