- All of the following are characteristics of epithelial tissue EXCEPT: contains matrix avascularity covers or lines structures forms glands The aponeuroses seen in the anterior abdominal wall need to withstand forces of tension mainly in one direction. On the other hand, the tissue surrounding joints are likely to experience tension in multiple planes.

Cuboidal epithelial cells are fragile, flat and scale-shaped, and specialized for the diffusion of small molecules. A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach. A stratified squamous epithelium is found where mechanical stresses are severe. Epithelial tissue continually repairs and renews itself. The transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder permits the frequent distension and recoil.arrow_forwarddescribe the types and subtypes of tissue in the human body and their location.arrow_forward

- Consider the four types of tissues in the human body. Imagine that you discovered an alien life form (very similar to humans) that didn't have one of the types of tissues (you choose which one that alien doesn't have). Explain how the functioning of that alien would be different from a human (that has all four types of tissues). Writing an answer to a constructed response question should contain the following parts: 1. Claim- this is your answer to the question (written in a complete sentence, using part of the question re-written as part of your answer). 2. Evidence. In the second part of your answer, you write details (from the lesson, class notes etc.) that support your answer. 3. Reasoning- this is a summary statement tying the evidence to your answer (to your claim). Why is what you wrote true?arrow_forwardOne way to distinguish between epithelium and connective tissue under the microscope is that connective tissue is more densely cellular than epithelium.
