Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epithelial tissue covers, lines, and protects the body and its organs. Epithelial cells typically have two parts to their names.
The first name indicates the number of cell layers:
Simple: Only one layer of cells. These are typically found where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur.
Stratified: Two or more cell layers stacked on top of each other. These are typically found in areas susceptible to abrasion where extra protection is needed.
The second name describes the shape of the cells:
Squamous: flat
Cuboidal: cube-shaped
Columnar: column-shaped
