What type of epithelial tissue propels substances (e.g. mucus) across surfaces?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial tissue propels substances across surfaces.
What type of epithelial tissue propels substances across it surface?
transitional lackpa
What tissue forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages?
The type of epithelial tissue that lines much of the respiratory tract is called pseudostratified columnar. This type of tissue also moves substances across its surface.
What type of tissue is so thin it is considered primarily with the movement of various substances across the membranes from one body compartment to another?
Epithelial tissue is the type of tissue that is thin and primarily concerned with the movement of substances across membranes. It forms the lining of various organs and cavities in the body, allowing for the selective passage of molecules and ions.
What tissue absorbs or secretes substances?
Epithelial tissue is responsible for absorption and secretion in the body, as it lines various organs and structures. This type of tissue has specialized cells that can actively transport substances across their membranes, allowing them to either absorb or secrete molecules as needed.
What is it called when the damage of the epidermis isn't severe and the surface epithelium migrates beneath the dry scab and across the surface of the granulation tissue?
Regeneration
What purpose do cilia and microtubules serve for some types of epithelia?
To help move things across the surface of the tissue.
What causes an alkali metal to move over the surface of water while reacting with it?
The densities of lithium, sodium and potassium are less than that of water and so they float on water. They react with water to produce hydrogen gas and this propels the metal across the surface of the water.
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
Ciliated cells form epithelial tissue. These specialized cells have hair-like structures called cilia on their surface that help move substances across the surface of tissues, such as in the respiratory tract to help clear mucus.
What cellular organelle is a projection that moves substances onto epithelial surfaces?
Cilia are cellular projections that move substances along the surface of epithelial cells. They beat in a coordinated manner to propel mucus and other substances across the epithelial surface, aiding in functions such as mucus clearance in the respiratory tract.
What do cilia and flagella allow cells to do?
Cilia and flagella allow cells to move and transport substances. They are made up of microtubules and can generate a whip-like motion that propels the cell or moves substances across the cell surface.
How can substances move across capillaries?
Substances typically move across capillaries via diffusion.
