Question

Identify each of the following epithelial tissue from their functional description. epithelium can function in diffusion, filtration, secretion and protection based on location. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium can function in absorption, secretion and protection. Simple squamous epithelium functions in protection of underlying layers Transitional epithelium epithelium functions in movement of a secretion (like mucus) across the apical surface of the tissue. Stratified squamous accomdates distension and relaxation with Simple cuboidal changes in organ volume.

Explanation / Answer

Simple squamous epithelium can function in filtration, secretion and protection based on location.

Simple cuboidal epithelium can function in absorption, secretion and protection.

Stratified squamous epithelium can function in protection of underlying layers.

Psedostratified columnar epithelium functions in the movement of secretion across apical surface of tissue.

Transitional epithelium accomodate distention and relaxation with changes in organ volume.
