Question

multiple cholce question the type of epithelium that consists of several layers of cells is ______ epithelium. o stratified o pseudostratified o simple o transitional

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the types of epithelium:

• Simple epithelium has a single layer of cells.
• Pseudostratified epithelium appears stratified but is actually a single layer with varying cell heights.
• Transitional epithelium changes shape (stretches) and has multiple layers but is specialized for organs like the bladder.
• Stratified epithelium is defined by having multiple (several) layers of cells.

Since the question asks for the epithelium with several layers of cells, stratified epithelium matches this description.

Answer:

A. stratified
