List five important characteristics of epithelial tissue.

Define connective tissue.

When is an epithelial membrane termed as a covering epithelium? A lining epithelium?

Explain the difference between the 3 main types of cell layering seen in epithelial tissues?

How do cellular junctions contribute to the overall function of epithelial tissue? Describe at least two type(s) of cell junctions found in epithelium (ie. location, structure, function).

Name and briefly describe the three main structural elements of connective tissue.

Regarding epithelial tissue, answer the following questions; (a) In general, which junctions are found in epithelial cells of the skin, where is their location on the cell and what is their function? (b) Describe how collagen fibrils attach to epithelial cells? Name any proteins that are involved?

Epithelial 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?

Which 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.
