100
This tissue covers and lines.
What is Epithelial?
100
Name one function of epithelial tissue
What is protection?
100
Epithelia are organized into tightly packed groups that for these
What are sheets of tissue?
100
Epithelia have lateral surfaces that are connected to neighboring cells by these
What are junctions?
100
Surfaces of epithelial cells depend on where it is in the body and this
What is its role?
200
This tissue provides support.
What is Connective?
200
Name one function of epithelial tissue
What is filter?
200
Epithelia are polar and have these two surfaces.
What are apical and basal?
200
This is an impenetrable barrier that prevents the passage of substances from the luminal end to the basal end
what are tight junctions?
300
This tissue enables movement.
What is muscle?
300
One function of epithelial tissue is this
What is absorption?
300
The apical surfaces faces this
What is the body cavity?
300
This is a strong plaque or thickening that connects the cell membranes of adjacent cells
What are desmosomes?
400
This tissue controls work.
What is nerve?
400
Epithelial tissues detect this
What are changes in the environment?
400
The basal surfaces faces this
What is the underlying connective tissue?
400
These junctions are found in tissues that undergo repeated episodes of tension and stretching (skin, heart, uterus)
What are desmosomes?
500
Tissues cluster to form this.
What are organs?
500
excretion takes things outside of the body;this function happens within the body
What is secretion?
500
Epithelia are avascular, meaning they do not have these
What are blood vessels or capillaries?
500
These junctions are found in tissues where there can be no leaks (urinary bladder, GI tract)
What are tight junctions?
