shaped cells but actually has a single layer? - ANSWER Pseudostratified
epithelium
19.What is the epithelial tissue that lines vessels of the lymphatic and
cardiovascular system, made up of a single layer of squamous cells? -
ANSWER Endothelium
20.What type of epithelial cells have a round nucleus located near the center
and are active in secretion and absorption? - ANSWER Simple cuboidal
epithelium
, 21.What type of epithelial cells have an elongated nucleus located in the basal
end and are found in the digestive system and female reproductive tract? -
ANSWER Simple columnar epithelium
22.What is a structure made up of one or more cells modified to synthesize
and secrete chemical substances? - ANSWER Gland
23.What type of gland releases secretions directly into surrounding tissues and
fluids without ducts? - ANSWER Endocrine gland

Hormones
25.What type of gland releases its contents through a duct that leads to the
epithelial surface? - ANSWER Exocrine gland
26.What is the most common type of exocrine secretion where secretions are
enclosed in vesicles and released by exocytosis? - ANSWER Merocrine
secretion
27.What type of secretion involves the rupture and destruction of the entire
gland cell? - ANSWER Holocrine secretion
