LAB 7: EPITHELIAL TISSUE
Histology-✔ The systematic study of tissue types
4 basic tissue types in the human body-✔ epithelium, muscle, connective,
and nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue have 2 basic roles:-✔ covering/ lining, or glandular
Epithelial tissue (Covering/ lining) is found in sheets that cover-✔ body
structures or line body spaces
Basement Membrane-✔ thin, gluelike layer that holds the epithelium in
place while remaining highly permeable to water/ other substances
The type of epithelium that form glands-✔ Glandular epithelium
Forms the functional portion of exocrine glands-✔ Glandular epithelium
Forms endocrine glands-✔ Glandular epithelium
Endocrine glands secrete substances into the-✔ blood stream
Exocrine glands secrete substances into-✔ ducts that empty on epithelial
surfaces
simple epithelial tissue includes one layer of cells True or False?-✔ True
Stratified epithelial tissue includes more than one layer of cells True or
False?-✔ True
Shaped like fish scales, these cells are much wider than they are tall-✔
Squamous
