Question
- the shape of each kind of epithelial cell correlates with its ____________. 8. the epithelial cells of the stomach are mostly __________ cells. 9. epithelial tissue can also be classified based on its layering. a __________ epithelium has only one layer of cells. a __________ epithelium has multiple layers set on top of one another. a __________ epithelium is mostly just one layer but the cells can be different shapes and sizes. 10. we can think of a tissues first name as its number of __________ and its last name as the shape of its __________. 11. epithelial tissue regenerates quickly slowly 12. all of your epithelial cells are polar: they have __________ different sides. they are also selectively permeable: they allow some things through, but not others. 13. your glandular epithelium creates two different kinds of glands: __________ glands that secrete hormones directly into your bloodstream or cells and ____________ glands that secrete juices into tubes or ducts.
Brief Explanations
- The function of a cell is often related to its shape. Epithelial cells' shapes are adapted to their functions such as protection, secretion, or absorption.
- The stomach's epithelial cells are mainly columnar cells which are well - suited for secretion and absorption.
- Simple epithelium has one layer, stratified epithelium has multiple layers, and pseudostratified epithelium appears to be multi - layered but is mostly one layer with different cell shapes and sizes.
- The first name of a tissue can refer to the number of cell layers and the last name to the cell shape.
- Epithelial tissue regenerates quickly to replace damaged cells.
- Epithelial cells are polar with two different sides and are selectively permeable.
- Glandular epithelium forms endocrine glands (secreting hormones into bloodstream) and exocrine glands (secreting juices into tubes or ducts).
