Has a basal surface that faces the internal or external environment. Is supported by a deeper neural tissue. Possess a large amount of fibers in the extracellular matrix. Often plays a role in secretion. Cells are often separated by ground substance.arrow_forwardWhy are Cartilage tissues likely to be slow in healing following an injury?arrow_forward
- True or false connective tissue sheaths are a type of tissue?arrow_forwardEpithelial tissue is an important part of the body as a covering of surfaces and as a lining of the internal hollow organs. Discuss how histologists can use visualization of epithelial tissue to help with diagnosis of diseases in different parts of the body.arrow_forwardEpithelial tissues are capable of rapidly regenerating themselves by producing new cells.

- Name the four types of tissue found in our body and a function of each.arrow_forwardEpithelial tissue Draw a typical epithelial cell, include the apical portion, villi, basal portion, nucleus. I don't know where I draw the picture of the epithelium tissue about the apical portion, villi, basal portion, nucleus. Can you help me, please?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about epithelial tissue is/are TRUE? 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_forward
