COMPLETE QUESTION SET AND CORE
CONCEPT SUMMARY
◉ simple cuboidal epithelium. Answer: secretion and absorption;
kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, ovary
surface
◉ simple columnar epithelium. Answer: absorption, secretion of
mucous, enzymes, and other substances, ciliated type propels
mucous; nonciliated type lines most of digestive tract (stomach to
rectum), gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands, ciliated
type lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, some regions of uterus
◉ pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Answer: secretes
substances (mucous), propulsion of mucous by ciliary action;
nonciliated type in male's sperm-carrying ducts and ducts or large
glands, ciliated lines trachea, and most of upper respiratory tract
◉ stratified squamous epithelium. Answer: protects underlying
tissues in ares subjected to abrasion; nonkeratinized type forms in
moist linings of esophogus, mouth, and vagina, keratinized type
forms the epidermis of skin
, ◉ stratified cuboidal epithelium. Answer: protection, largest ducts of
sweat glands, mammary glands, salivary glands
◉ stratified columnar epithelium. Answer: protection, secretion;
rare in body, small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of
some glands
◉ transitional epithelium. Answer: stretches readily and permits
distension of urinary organ by contained urine; lines ureters,
urinary bladder, part of urethra
◉ embryonic connective tissue - mesenchyme. Answer: gives rise to
all other connective tissue; primarily in embryo
◉ connective tissue proper - loose, areolar. Answer: wraps and
cushions organs, important role in inflammation, holds and conveys
tissue fluid; widely distributed under epithelia, packages organs,
surrounds capillaries
◉ connective tissue proper - loose, adipose. Answer: provides
reserve fuel, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects
organs; under skin, around kidneys and eye balls, within abdomen,
in breasts
