give characteristic feature of squamous, glandular and ciliated epithelial tissue?
Answers
Answer:
- Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues
Covers and lines body surfaces.
Cells are densely packed together with minimal amount of intercellular substance.
Cells are firmly attached by intercellular junctions.
Cells rest on a basement membrane partly derived from underlying connective tissue.
- Characteristics of Squamous
Simple squamous epithelia are tissues formed from one layer of squamous cells that line surfaces. Squamous cells are large, thin, and flat and contain a rounded nucleus. Like other epithelial cells, they have polarity and contain a distinct apical surface with specialized membrane proteins.
- Characteristics of Glandula
Glands consist of parenchyma of glandular epithelium, which forms the secretory portions of glands, surface epithelium, which forms the duct system, and stroma of connective tissue. Exocrine glands produce secretions to free surfaces, whereas endocrine glands deliver their secretions to the blood.
