Epithelial cells
InformationThe term "epithelium" refers to cells that line hollow organs and glands and those that make up the outer surface of the body. Epithelial cells help to protect or enclose organs. Most produce mucus or other secretions.
Certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances, for example, from the respiratory tract.
Epithelial cells are arranged in single or multiple layers, depending on the organ and location.

What kind of tissue lines the insides of your cheeks?
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
What is the type of epithelial tissues that contains cells that can change shape as the tissue streches?
Transitional epithelium is the type of epithelial tissue that contains cells that can change shape as the tissue stretches. This type of tissue is found in organs like the bladder, where it needs to accommodate changes in volume without tearing.
The is squamous epithelium supported by a sparse connective tissue layer?
The squamous epithelium is likely to be simple squamous epithelium, which is supported by a basement membrane composed of a sparse connective tissue layer called the basal lamina. This connective tissue layer provides structural support and nutrients to the overlying epithelial cells.
What is another name for fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium?
Basement membrane is another name for the fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium. It provides structural support and helps anchor the epithelial cells to the underlying connective tissue.
How can one identify transitional epithelium in biological samples?
Transitional epithelium can be identified in biological samples by its unique appearance under a microscope, characterized by multiple layers of cells that change shape depending on the degree of stretching in the tissue. This type of epithelium is typically found in organs like the urinary bladder and ureters.
What type of tissue is simple columuar tissue?
Simple columnar tissue falls under larger group called epithelium.
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What is the connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium?
The connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium is called the basement membrane. It provides structural support to the overlying epithelial cells and helps in anchoring them to the underlying tissues. The basement membrane also plays a role in filtration and diffusion of substances between the epithelial cells and the underlying tissues.
How do you distinguish generally between epithelium tissue and connective tissue?
There is usually more ECM than cells in connective tissue. Epithelium is a highly cellular tissue, mostly composed of cells with little matrix.
Most widespread tissue in the body?

What is epithelium?
Epithelium is a layer of animal tissue. It can be found in the lining of certain organs and glands in the body.
What type of tissue in the kidney tubules?
Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
