Since epithelium needs to serve as both a barrier and selectively permeable membrane, the cells need to be tightly junctioned to one another (thus prohibiting paracellular transport) and need to express channels, transporters or exchangers to allow for movement of selected ions/molecules across the epithelial barrier

How does the structure of columnar epithelium help their function?
it doesnt HAHA ;D
What is the dominant function of stratified epithelium?
The dominant function of stratified epithelium is to protect underlying structures from mechanical wear and tear.
What is the function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree?
The function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree is secretion and absorption. These cells control the mucus produced.
Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function
What is function of cilia in gaseous exchange?
More often in the area of bronchi there is formation of viscous mucous going through which becomes at extreme level during the cold and cough as normally we experience during the winter times. But the main function of ciliated cell is to provide the more surface area to enzymes which are digesting or metabolizing the mucous continuously.This answer does not answer what the special function is lol

What is the function of cuboidal epithelium?
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
What is the dominant function of stratified epithelium?
The dominant function of stratified epithelium is to protect underlying structures from mechanical wear and tear.
What is the function of the cubidal epithelium?
nxhx
A structure above the cellular level?
epithelium
What is the function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree?
The function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree is secretion and absorption. These cells control the mucus produced.
What structure in the lungs contains the thinnest epithelium?
The structure in the lungs that contains the thinnest epithelium is the alveoli. Alveoli are air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place.
What is the structure above the cellular level called?
Epithelium
What is the structure of transitional epithelium?
The structure of transitional epithelium is that it has several layers of epithelial cells that can contract and stretch. It is has a cube-like shape when not stretched and appears flat when stretched.
What is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium?
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
What is the function of cilia in tracheal epithelium?
Wow you fell for it
Why is the tracheal epithelium said to be pseudostratified?
Thats epithelium is thick, has composition is more than 1 layers cells. The Structure of that epithelium has a strike corelation with the function of trachea, to protect the trachea from any kind of bacteria, dust, foreign micro matters etc, for the keep airway is the best for our breathing, espescially to keep intake the oxigen and to keep out the carbon dioxide.
