Microvilli cilia and goblet cells are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?

They are modifications of simple columnar epithelial tissue.


What are the four types of epithelial tissue based on their special functions?

The four types of epithelial tissue based on their special functions are: Simple squamous epithelium, for filtration and diffusion Simple cuboidal epithelium, for absorption and secretion Simple columnar epithelium, for secretion and absorption Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, for secretion and propulsion of mucus


Why is the thin epithelial cells connected to the basement of membrane called simple columnar epithelial tissue?

The thin epithelial cells connected to the basement membrane are called simple columnar epithelial tissue because they consist of a single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide. They appear rectangular or column-like when seen in cross-section, giving them their name.


What is epithelial classification?

Epithelial tissue is a major category of tissue which lines all our body surfaces. It can be classified by a combination of shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and layers (simple, stratified, pseudostratified).


What type of epithelium is designed for absorption and secretion and is found throughout much of the GI tract?

Simple columnar epithelium is the type of epithelium designed for absorption and secretion found throughout much of the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by tall, closely packed cells that have microvilli to increase surface area for absorption and goblet cells for secretion of mucus.
