What is the singular form of Epithelium?
Epithelium is the singular form; the plural forms are epitheliums or epithelia, both are accepted.
What is epithelia with more than one layer?
The term for epithelium with more than one layer is stratified epithelium.
What is the basis of biologist to classify a specific epithelial tissue?
Epithelia are tissues consisting of closely apposed cells without intervening intercellular substances. Epithelia are avascular, but all epithelia "grow" on an underlying layer of vascular connective tissue. The connective tissue and the epithelium are separated by a basement membrane. Epithelium covers all free surfaces of the body. Epithelium also lines the large internal body cavities, where it is termed mesothelium.
What type of simple epithelium is less easily categorized because of the variation in cells?
stratified epithelia
How does transitional epithelium structure differ from stratified squamous epithelia?
Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional". Stratified squamous is different from transitional epithelium since the shape of the individual cell is more hexagonal and contains flattened cells. Transitional epithelium have the capacity to stretch and flatten.

Are stratified squamous epithelia named based upon the uppermost layer or bottom layer of cells?
Stratified squamous epithelia are named based on the characteristics of the uppermost layer of cells. If the top layer is composed of squamous (flat) cells, the epithelium is referred to as "stratified squamous epithelium." This naming convention helps to identify the type of epithelium based on its surface features and function.
Does epithelium consists of closely packed cells?
Yes, epithelium consists of closely packed cells that form the protective covering of internal and external surfaces of the body. These cells are tightly packed together with minimal extracellular matrix between them.
Which epithelium forms wall of air sacs of lungs?
simple squamous epithelium
What type of epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract. This type of epithelium helps to trap foreign particles and move them out of the respiratory system with the help of cilia.
What type of epithelial cell often had cilia?
Epithelia cells are the first cell type that differentiate in the embryo during the 8 cell stage. Epithelia are tissues that are formed by epithelial cells. These specialized cells are differ from others by the nature of avascular, sensory, gliding surface layer, tight barrier and differs from endothelial cells. They form the major cavities of the body. These cells form lungs, kidney, kidney, pancreas and so on. Epithelia act as sensory receptors, hence they form taste buds, nose, ear, female reproductive organs and so on.
Epithelia specialized for providing sensations of smell taste sight equilibrium and hearing are known?
as sensory epithelia. These epithelia are found in specific sensory organs such as the olfactory epithelium for smell, the taste buds for taste, the retina for sight, the macula and cristae in the inner ear for equilibrium, and the cochlea in the inner ear for hearing. They are highly specialized to detect and transmit sensory information to the brain.
