What is the difference between simple and compound epithelium?

Simple epithelium is a single layer of cells that are involved in absorption, secretion, and filtration, while compound epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells and provides protection and support. Simple epithelium is found in areas where minimal protection is needed, while compound epithelium is typically present in areas that are subjected to more wear and tear.


What is the function of an epithelium that is smooth on its free surface compared to an epithelium with a folded free surface made up of micro-villi?

Secretion is one of epithelium's major functions. However, if there are microvilli, they are used for absorption. Regular epithelium would be in our skin, and epithelium with microvilli would be in the digestive tract.


Does the stomach have transitional epithelium?

No, the stomach does not have transitional epithelium. The stomach lining is primarily made up of simple columnar epithelium, which is specialized for secreting mucus and enzymes involved in digestion. Transitional epithelium is typically found in structures like the urinary bladder, where it allows for stretching and expansion.


What cell type can a single flattened layer of epithelium cells represents?
