When looking at a slide of epithelial tissue under the microscope, you see several clearly defined layers of flat-shaped cells. Which of the following best describes the type of epithelial tissues viewed?
simple squamous
stratified squamous
simple cuboidal
stratified cuboidal
psuedostratified columnar
Epithelial sheets are classified by their number of cell layers and their cell shape. 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.
Simple squamous Stratified squamous
Simple cuboidal Stratified cuboidal
Simple columnar Stratified columnar
Pseudostratified columnar Transitional
Why is living epithelial tissue limited to a certain thickness?

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
