Where in an amphibian would ciliated epithelium cells be found?
In an amphibian, ciliated epithelium cells would be found in the body surface. The main functions include absorption, secretion and protection among others.
Cells with large numbers of microvilli on their apical surface are probably involved in?
reabsorption of molecules during production of urine.
The surface area for diffusion across the membranes of cells in simple columnar epithelium is increased by the presence of?
microvilli
Tightly bound sheet of cells lining any external or internal surface in multicellular organisms?
epithelium
What type of epithelium covers the body and serves as protection for the body surface?
The type of epithelium that covers the body and provides protection for the body surface is stratified squamous epithelium. It is composed of multiple layers of flat cells that are tightly packed together, forming a barrier against mechanical damage, pathogens, and dehydration.
What multilayered epithelium with cuboidal basal cells and flat cells at its surface would be classified as?
Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
What is the free surface?
An epithelium always has on surface where the cells are exposed either to the external environment or to an internal passageway or cavity; this surface is called the free surface of the epithelium.

What is mucosal surface?
An epithelium that has goblet cells that secretes mucous.
Do columnar cells lining the small intestine show a brush border of microvilli in the apical surface?
Yes

Which is a type of epithelium in which all cells are connected to the basement membrane but some of them do not reach the surface?
pseudostratified.
What types of cells makes up tissues?
Simple cuboidal epithelium; these cells form tubules that open onto a surface (glands).
The surface area for diffusion across the membranes of cells in simple columnar epithelium is increased by the presence of?
microvilli
What secretes mucus onto the surface of the epithelium to capture dust particles in the trachea?
The goblet cells have this function.
Tightly bound sheet of cells lining any external or internal surface in multicellular organisms?
epithelium
