Figure 33.11 Which of the following statements about types of epithelial cells is false? Simple columnar epithelial cells line the tissue of the lung. Simple cuboidal epithelial cells are involved in the filtering of blood in the kidney. Pseudostratisfied columnar epithilia occur in a single layer, but the arrangement of nuclei makes it appear that more than one layer is present. Transitional epithelia change in thickness depending on how full the bladder is.

What characteristics are common to all epithelial tissues?

How do we divide covering and lining epithelial tissue in two groups?

Name and describe the structure of the three general typesof epithelial cells, and describe the general structure andfunctions of epithelial tissue.

Which type of epithelial tissue consists of only one layer of columnarcells, but appears stratified due to the positioning of nuclei at different heights; all ofthe cells rest on the basement membrane; and have cilia at the apical surface?

Explain well the general characteristics of Epithelial Tissues?
