apical part of cell pinches off
Draw your favorite secretion type in the space below:
Focus
Why is living epithelial tissue limited to a certain thickness?
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).

In the following table, draw simplified illustrations of the eight classifications. In each illustration, identify the cells, nuclei, and basement membrane. For the stratified epithelia, you only need to draw two or three cell layers, as shown in the stratified cuboidal epithelium example provided in the table.
