Which type of epithelial tissue is best for sweeping substances across its surface?
Squamous epithelial cells are flat and allow substances to freely move across their surface. These cells are located in the lungs and the kidneys. Stratified epithelial cells form layers, with mitosis taking place in the lowest layer. Skin is formed from stratified epithelial cells.
What epithelial tissue secretes and propels mucus?
The Respiratory Epithelium The epithelium provides physical barrier to infection, lining the respiratory tract from the nose to the alveoli with a wide range of cell types. Ciliated epithelial cells are important in propelling mucus up the airway, thereby removing particulate material.
What epithelial tissue is best for transport?
The type of epithelial tissue best adapted for rapid transport of material is simple squamous epithelium. it is found in air sacs of lungs , endothelium , etc .
What are the 4 types of epithelial tissue?
The four major classes of simple epithelium are: 1) simple squamous; 2) simple cuboidal; 3) simple columnar; and 4) pseudostratified.
What types of epithelial tissue can be found on the surface of the skin?
Stratified squamous epithelium: This tissue is the stuff you see every day — your outer skin, or epidermis. This multilayered tissue has squamous cells on the outside plus deeper layers of cuboidal or columnar cells.
What type of epithelial tissue is pictured below?

Which type of epithelium secretes a product?
Anatomy Tissue Review
| A | B |
|---|---|
| Glandular epithelium | composed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids |
| Exocrine | type of glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto an internal or external surface. |
| Endocrine | type of glands that secrete directly into tissue fluid or blood. |
Which type of cell propels substances ie mucus across its surface?
ciliated
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, like simple colum- nar epithelium, functions in secretion or absorption. A ciliated type lines the interior of the respiratory tubes. Here, the cilia propel sheets of dust-trapping mucus out of the lungs. Stratified epithelia contain two or more layers of cells.
Which epithelial tissue allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration?
Simple squamous epithelium, because of the thinness of the cell, is present where rapid passage of chemical compounds is observed. The alveoli of lungs where gases diffuse, segments of kidney tubules, and the lining of capillaries are also made of simple squamous epithelial tissue.
What is epithelial transport?
Epithelia form linings throughout the body. Epithelial cells are able to transport substances in one direction across the epithelium because different sets of transporters are localized in either the apical or basolateral membranes. …

What are the 2 types of epithelial tissue?
There are two kinds of epithelial tissues: Covering and lining epithelium covers the outside surfaces of the body and lines internal organs.
