Question

matching - epithelial tissues: match each type of epithelial tissue to its description. each type of epithelial tissue can be used once, multiple times, or zero times. 48. thin for diffusion 49. line the digestive tract 50. very rare; found in the ducts of sweat glands & mammary glands 51. many layers of box - shaped cells 52. found in the fallopian tubes and trachea 53. protect the body from abrasion 54. lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and a part of the urethra 55. stretches easily 56. located in the skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina 57. one layer of flat cells 58. found in the pharynx & male urethra 59. secretes mucus and propels particles forward using cilia 60. many layers of pillar - shaped cells a. simple squamous b. simple cuboidal c. simple columnar d. stratified squamous e. stratified cuboidal f. stratified columnar g. pseudostratified columnar h. transitional

Explanation:

1. Simple squamous epithelium is thin and ideal for diffusion.
2. Simple cuboidal epithelium lines the digestive tract and is in gland ducts.
3. Stratified cuboidal has many layers of box - shaped cells.
4. Stratified squamous has many layers.
5. Pseudostratified columnar is in fallopian tubes and trachea.
6. Stratified squamous protects from abrasion.
7. Transitional epithelium lines urinary structures.
8. Transitional epithelium stretches easily.
9. Stratified squamous is located in skin, mouth etc.
10. Simple squamous is one layer of flat cells.
11. Stratified columnar is in pharynx and male urethra.
12. Pseudostratified columnar secretes mucus and moves particles with cilia.
13. Stratified columnar has many layers of pillar - shaped cells.
