tissue? -It is composed almost entirely of cells.
-The basal surface is bound to a basement
-The cells are bound closely together.
membrane.
-It is composed almost entirely of
extracellular matrix.
-A large amount of extracellular matrix

The study of blood, which is a group of histology
similar cells that have a common
function, would be an example of _.
four primary types of tissues found in Epithelial, connective, nervous and muscle
the human body?
Match the correct epithelial cell surface on Apical = Exposed to surface or
the left with its description on the right. lumen Lateral = Have intercellular
Apical connections
Lateral Basal = Where epithelium is attached to underlying connective tissue
Basal
Extracellular matrix is composed mostly proteins
of water,__fibers, and dissolved
macromolecules.
Which of the following are functions of Secretions
epithelial tissue? Physical protection
Secretions Sensations
Physical protection Selective permeability

Sensations (not storage and transport because this is a property of connective tissue, not epith)
Storage and transport
Selective permeability
The majority of glands are composed of epithelial tissue
______.
Which statements correctly describe It lacks blood vessels.
epithelial tissue? It is richly innervated.
It lacks innervation.
It has a high regeneration capacity.
It is richly vascularized.
It lacks blood
vessels. It is richly
innervated.
It has a high regeneration capacity.
- Tight junction = Complete attachment between neighboring cells sealing off
Tight junction
the intercellular space
Adhering junctions
Gap junctions
- Adhering junctions = Acts like a belt providing strength and support between cells
- Gap junctions = Has connexons which provide a pore or tunnel between cells
One of the four major tissue types in epithelial
the human body, tissue acts as
'gatekeepers'
in that it regulates the movement of
materials in and out of certain body
regions.
A____epithelium contains two or more stratified
layers of epithelial cells.
If an epithelium is stratified, it will likely play protection
a role in____.
Match the type of simple epithelium with its - Simple squamous = One layer of flat, wide irregular shaped cells
description. - Simple cuboidal = One layer of cells that are about as high as they are wide
- Simple columnar, nonciliated = One layer of tall, narrow cells that often
Simple squamous contain microvilli
Simple cuboidal - Simple columnar, ciliated = One layer of tall, narrow cells that can move
Simple columnar, nonciliated objects along their apical surface
