Much of the lining of the respiratory tract is a ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is shown at:

This type of connective tissue forms a stroma for the liver and spleen.It is also one layer of the basement membrane where connective tissue contacts epithelia.A. Adipose B. Areolar C. Dense irregular D. Elastic cartilage E. Reticular

Loose connective tissue is classified as a type of: A. Connective tissue proper B. Dense connective tissue C. Fluid connective tissue D. Supporting connective tissue

Which pertains to exocrine glands but not endocrine glands?A. They secrete hormones into the bloodB. They secrete hormones through cellular ducts C. They secrete substances into a lumen of a duct D. They secrete substances into the blood and also onto surfaces

Name the type of secretion described: begins like Merocrine secretion, but the vesicles gather together in a little cell life raft which is then jettisoned and broken open, releasing the vesicle product. The male prostate and female mammary glands secrete their products in this way.

The single layer of thin, flat cells in this tissue facilitates gas exchange in the lungs and capillaries.

Much of the urethra is lined with a multi-layered epithelium in which the cells on the apical surface are taller than they are wide. This is called a:

Fibronectin, laminin, and proteoglycans are proteins in the ground substance. What is one function of these proteins?A. Allow tissues to resist stress in all directions B. Energy storage for the bodyC. Play an important role in inflammatory response D. Provide a scaffolding for tissues E. Provide strength through a triple helix structure

Epithelial tissue in which the cells are in layers, so only the lowest layer is in contact with the basement membrane

What epithelial shape or arrangement is identified by the number 3?A. Pseudostratified B. SimpleC. StratifiedD. Transitional

Epithelial tissue where the cells are as wide as they are tall, like little ice cubes

Epithelial tissue where the cells are a single layer, and all are in contact with the basement membrane

Epithelial tissue in which the cells appear to have layers, however, each cell is in contact with the basement membrane

This feature of epithelial tissue is a thin extracellular layer comprised of a basal lamina and reticular lamina.
