Feedback: 4.3 4. Epithelial tissue a. Is used as a covering b. Is used as a lining c. Is used in glands d. Has a free surface e. All of the above Ans: E Difficulty: easy Feedback: 4.3 5. Name and briefly describe the cell shapes and arrangements of cell layers found in epithelial tissues. Ans: In epithelial tissues the layer arrangements can be simple, which means a single layer of cells, stratified which is two or more layers of cells and pseudostratified which is one layer of cells but looks like more than one layer due to the arrangement of the nuclei in each cell. The four cell shapes in clued squamous is are thin and flat, cuboidal which are similar in width in height, columnar are taller than they are wide and transitional which can change shape from cuboidal to squamous and back again.
