Match the following epithelium with its function(s): Simple cuboidal

Mucus that protects your stomach lining is secreted by which type of epithelial cell?

_____________ are important and common unicellular exocrine glands.

what epithelial tissue type is best adapted for the rapid transport of materials across its membrane?

a sebaceous (oil) gland of the skin must completely rupture to release its secretory products. Thus, this type of gland is considered to be a __________.

Match the following specialized characteristic of epithelium with the appropriate description or example: polarity

why are histological sections stained?

what tissue lines the majority of the digestive tract?

match the following epithelial tissue with a body location where it can be found: pseudostratified ciliated columnar

What exocrine gland stores its secretion until the gland ruptures?

what is not a function of epithelial tissue?

the role of microvilli is to ____________.

match the following exocrine gland with its structure: intestinal glands

match the following epithelial tissue with a body location where it can be found: simple cuboidal

which of the following descriptions best describe a squamous-shaped cell?

epithelial tissues, bone, areolar connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and blood _______________

You observe a tissue that has cells of varying heights. At first glance, it appears that the tissue has multiple cell layers, but upon closer investigation, you see that all of the cells attach to the same basement membrane. What classification would you give to this epithelial tissue?

what is the role of an exocrine gland?

what is true of glands?

An important component of the immune system is mucus, which lines all external surfaces (respiratory, reproductive, and digestive systems) with a slimy coating that prevents the spread of pathogens. Thus, the immune system is dependent on mucus secreted by which type of gland?

which of the following epithelial tissue types is best adapted for the rapid transport of materials across its membranes?

match the following epithelial tissue with a body location where it can be found: simple squamous
