underlying connective tissue is called the…
Basement membrane
4. Epithelial tissue
Is used to form glands
5. Name and briefly describe the different categories of epithelial tissues based on cell shape and number
of layers of cells found in the tissue
Solution: based on cell shape, epithelial tissues can be divided into four categories including
a. Squamous which are thin and flat
b. Cuboidal which are similar in width and height
c. Columnar which are taller than they are wide
d. Transitional which can change shape from cuboidal to squamous and back again
Epithelial tissues can also be categorized based on the number of layers of cells found in the tissue.
These categories include:
a. Simple which means a single layer of cells
b. Stratified which is two or more layers of cells
c. Pseudo stratified which is one layer of cells that appears multi-layered due to the arrangement of the
nuclei in the cells.

9. Which type of epithelial tissue lines the fallopian tubes, uterus, and some bronchioles of the respiratory
