Test: Epithelial Tissue - Question 13

Epithelial tissue with thin flat cells appearing like packed tiles occurs on:     [AIPMT - 94]

Detailed Solution for Test: Epithelial Tissue - Question 13

The cells in epithelial tissue are densely packed, with little intercellular matrix. The cells have one free surface that is not in contact with other cells because the tissues form coverings and linings. A non-cellular basement membrane connects the cells to the underlying connective tissue opposite the free surface. This membrane is made up of carbohydrates and proteins.
This membrane is made up of carbohydrates and proteins that are secreted by epithelial and connective tissue cells. Epithelial cells can be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar in shape, and they can be organised in single or multiple layers.
Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue can be found in glandular tissue and kidney tubules. The stomach and intestines are lined with simple columnar epithelium. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines parts of the respiratory tract and some male reproductive tract tubes. Transitional epithelium can be stretched or distended. The glandular epithelium is specialised in the production and secretion of substances.
Squamous epithelium is an epithelial tissue composed of thin flat cells arranged edge to edge to resemble closely packed tiles. It protects moist surfaces that are subject to minimal friction wear and tear, such as the inner lining of the cheeks, the lining of blood vessels, the alveoli, and so on.

Therefore the correct answer is option (D) Inner lining of cheeks.

Test: Epithelial Tissue - Question 18

Epidermis of skin of vertebrates comprises :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Epithelial Tissue - Question 18

A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity.
