Chapter 8 Epithelial Tissues
1) A group of cells that are alike in function and appearance is called a tissue.
2) All of the following are major types of tissues, except
A) muscle
B) connective
C) epithelial
D) bone
E) nervous
3) All of the following are characteristics of epithelial tissues, except
A) they are well-supplied with blood vessels.
B) the cells are densely packed, with little space between them.
C) they all contain a basement membrane on their underside.
D) they can be composed of a single layer or multiple layers of cells.
E) their apical surface faces the outside or an internal body surface.
4) An epithelial tissue composed of several layers of tall, elongated cells would be called ________ epithelium.
A) stratified cuboidal
B) stratified columnar
C) transitional
D) simple columnar
E) stratified squamous
5) Which type of epithelial tissue is found in the air sacs of the lungs, the walls of capillaries, and the inner linings of blood vessels?
A) Stratified squamous
B) Simple cuboidal
C) Simple columnar
D) Transitional
E) Simple squamous
6) Which type of epithelial tissue is found in several structures of the urinary system, such as the urinary bladder and the ureters?
A) Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
B) Simple columnar
C) Transitional
D) Stratified cuboidal
E) Simple squamous
7) Which type of epithelial tissue provides protection against respiratory infections, due to the presence of mucus and cilia?
A) Simple squamous
B) Pseudostratified columnar
C) Stratified columnar
D) Simple cuboidal
E) Stratified squamous
8) Which type of epithelial tissue is composed of only one layer of cells, but appears layered, because some of the cells do not reach the free surface?
A) Transitional
B) Stratified squamous
C) Simple columnar
D) Stratified cuboidal
E) Pseudostratified columnar
9) Glandular epithelium makes up glands such as sweat glands; it is always multicellular.
10) Where is the keratinized form of stratified squamous epithelium found in the body?
A) The lining of the esophagus
B) The lining of the oral cavity
C) The epidermis of the skin
D) The anal canal
E) The vagina
11) A tissue sliced on an angle to be made into a histology slide is said to be an oblique section.
12) How do epithelial cells obtain their nourishment and get rid of their waste?
A) Through small channels in the tissue
B) Through their extensive blood vessels
C) Through the air in the environment
D) Through the blood vessels of the underlying connective tissue
E) By a combination of all of these methods
13) Which of the following is NOT true of the basement membrane?
A) It is connected to the apical surface of epithelial tissues.
B) The cells closest to the basement membrane are dividing cells.
C) It is acellular.
D) It is composed of collagen and secretions from the cells.
E) It serves to anchor the epithelial tissues to the underlying connective tissue.
14) What is the function of goblet cells, which are sometimes found interspersed throughout pseudostratified and simple columnar epithelium?
A) To produce new epithelial cells to replace worn out cells
B) To produce and secrete mucus
C) To provide oxygen to the nearby epithelial cells
D) To absorb nutrients for the epithelial cells
E) To engulf and destroy invading microorganisms
15) The histological sections used to make the slides we observe in the lab are usually about 10–15 cell layers thick.
16) The thinnest type of epithelial tissue in the body, which allows rapid diffusion of substances through the cells, is simple cuboidal epithelium.
