1

Epithelial cells can be classified according to shape. Which of the following is not a characteristic shape of epithelium?

1

Endocrine glands discharge their products into

1

Which of the following is not a functional classification of exocrine glands?

1

The functional classification of salivary glands is

1

This epithelial tissue readily allows diffusion, as in the linings of blood and lymphatic vessels

1

Epithelial tissue is attached to an underlying layer of connective tissue called the basement membrane.

1

Epithelium is rich with blood supply.

1

Exocrine glands discharge their products directly into the blood.

❌: single layer of cube-shaped cells

❌: multiple layers of cells with flat cells at the outer surface

❌: single layer of cells in which some are tall and thin and able to reach the free surface and others are not

❌: layers of cells that appear cube like when an organ is relaxed and flat or distended by fluid, such as the walls of the urinary bladder. This tissue is typically found in the body areas subjected to stress and tension changes

❌: single layer of flat, scalelike cells

❌: single layer of tall, thin cells that compose the surface of mucous membranes
