Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between covering epithelia and glandular epithelia?

  • Covering epithelia are only found in the stomach lining, while glandular epithelia are found throughout the body.
  • Covering epithelia secrete hormones, while glandular epithelia line organs.
  • Covering epithelia cover or line surfaces, while glandular epithelia are adapted for secretion. (correct)
  • Covering epithelia form glands, while glandular epithelia have a protective function.

    • How are exocrine glands formed from covering epithelia?

  • By maintaining a connection with the surface epithelium. (correct)
  • By losing connection with the surface epithelium.
  • Through a process of cellular differentiation.
  • By forming a physical barrier between cells.

    • Where do endocrine glands release their secretory product?

  • Into the duct systems for secretion.
  • Within the cells themselves.
