Transitional Epithelium

Stratified epithelium consists of ______ layer of cells above each other

Simple epithelium consists of ______ layer of cells

Glandular epithelium is composed of cells forming ______

Neuro-epithelium consists of cells that act as ______

Epithelial tissues cover all body surfaces, line organs, and are major tissues of ______

Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium is found in _____

Simple columnar epithelium lines most organs of the _____ tract

Simple cuboidal epithelium is often found in the _____ and glandular ducts

Stratified squamous epithelium is thick and protective of underlying _____

Simple columnar epithelium secretes digestive fluids and absorbs _____

Stratified columnar epithelium is a single layer of columnar cells with oval-shaped nuclei found in the _____ region

 Act as sensory receptors Present in taste bud in the tongue Organ of corti Macula of the inner ear  Diffusion: The epithelial cells gain nourishment for themselves through ______ from the underlying connective tissues.

Protection: It protects the body tissues from mechanical and physical injury, toxins, radiation and invasion by ______

Absorption: The microvilli found on the surfaces on columnar epithelium cells helps in absorption of nutrients and water through the length of the digestive ______

Secretion: The columnar and cuboidal cells get specialised for secretion and are then referred to as glandular ______

Sensation: The sensory cells of the nose, eye and ear that help us in smelling, hearing and seeing are all specialised ______ cells.

Transitional Epithelium is thick, composed of several layers, and cell division happens at deeper layers where older cells get pushed up/out. This type of epithelium is found in the epidermis, lines mouth, throat, vagina, and ______.

In the epidermis, keratin causes old cells to harden and die, forming a protective layer. This process known as keratinization causes cells to become tough and dry, keeping water in and chemicals, microbes ______.

Transitional Epithelium has 2-3 layers and lines larger ducts like those in mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and ______.

Glandular epithelium is involved in the secretion of various secretory products such as sweat, saliva, breast milk, hormones, and digestive enzymes. It can be found in secretory portions of glands, sweat glands on the skin, and ______ glands.

Superficial cells of Transitional Epithelium are elongated while deeper cells (basal layers) are cuboidal. This type of epithelium is found in the male urethra, vas deferens, and parts of the ______.

Changes in response to tension, the inner lining of the bladder and urinary passages are stretchy and consist of several layers of cuboidal cells. These cells flatten when stretched and become cuboidal when ______.
