Question

“ If the function of the epithelium is absorption or filtration, and it is in an area that has minimal wear and tear, the cells of the tissue form a single layer. Such an arrangement is called __________. If the epithelium is in an area with a high degree of wear and tear, then the cells are stacked in several layers. This type of tissue is called _______. A third, less common arrangement of epithelium is ____________. It has only one layer of cells; however, some of the cells do not reach the surface, which gives the tissue a multi-layered appearance.” Select one: a. Stratified, psudostratified, simple b. Pseudostratified, stratified, simple c. Simple, stratified, pseudostratified

Answer 1

1. Answer;

Simple Epithelium

Explanation;

If the function is absorption or filtration, or the tissue is in an area of minimal wear and tear, the cells form a single layer, and thus called a Simple Epithelium.

The surface of our body and internal organs is subjected to wear, tear and injury.

To protect the inner tissues, the outer lining of the body is covered by a specialized group of cells called epithelium

2.Answer;

Stratified Epithelium

Explanation;

If the tissue is in an area with a high degree of wear and tear, then the cells are stacked into layer, and is thus called a Stratified Epithelium.

It is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal cells, and the other layers can be cells of other types.

3. Answer;

Pseudo-stratified Epithelium

A third, less common arrangement of epithelium is Pseudo-stratified Epithelium.

Step-by-step explanation;

Pseudo-stratified Epithelium is found in the lining of trachea, bronchi, nasal chamber.

It is a less common arrangement, has a single layer of cells, so it is simple, but some cells do not reach the apical surface, giving it a multilayered appearance.

It functions to trap mucus traps the bacteria and dust particles.
