Multiple Choice

Which statement is true about nearly all epithelial tissue?

Multiple Choice

When considering an internal organ like the heart or liver, based on what you know about epithelial tissue, do you think that most of the tissue that makes up that organ would be epithelial tissue or some other kind of tissue?

Multiple Choice

A nutrient in the small intestine is absorbed into the bloodstream. In doing so, it moves from being dissolved in the chyme present in the small intestine to being dissolved in the plasma of the blood. How many times did the nutrient pass through epithelial tissue when moving from the intestine to the blood?

Multiple Choice

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

Multiple Choice

Polarity is a property of all normal epithelial tissues.

Multiple Choice

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?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following types of epithelial tissue lines the interior of blood vessels?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following descriptions best describes a squamous-shaped cell?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following correctly characterizes epithelial tissue?

Multiple Choice

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

Multiple Choice

Which of the following tissues lines the majority of the digestive tract, from stomach to rectum?

Multiple Choice

All of the body's organs are derived from three primary germ layers. Which of the primary germ layers can produce epithelial tissues?

Multiple Choice

Textbook Question

Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

Textbook Question

Scar tissue is a variety of a. epithelium, b. connective tissue, c. muscle tissue, d. nervous tissue, e. all of these.

Textbook Question

What is the function of macrophages?

Textbook Question

In what ways are adipose tissue and bone similar? How are they different?

Textbook Question

In adults, over 90% of all cancers arise in epithelium. Such cancers are called carcinomas, or adenomas (adenocarcinomas) if they arise in glandular epithelia. In fact, cancers of the skin, lung, colon, breast, and prostate are all in these categories. Why do you think this is so?
