Answer 1

Two Properties of pseudo-stratified epithelium are :-

• This tissue is a modification of the columnar epithelium which has long and short cells.
• Nucleus is present on different levels of the cells are thus appears to be bilayered.

Answer 2

MEANS

A pseudostratified epithelium is a type of epithelium that, though comprising only a single layer of cells, has its cell nuclei positioned in a manner suggestive of stratified epithelia. As it rarely occurs as squamous or cuboidal epithelia, it is usually considered synonymous with the term pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

for ex------

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia is the type of respiratory epithelium found in the linings of the trachea as well as the upper respiratory tract.

Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia are located in the prostate and membranous part of male vas deferens.

Pseudostratified columnar epithelia with stereocilia are located in the epididymis. Stereocilia of the epididymis are not cilia because their cytoskeleton is composed of actin filaments, not microtubules. They are structurally and molecularly more similar to microvilli than to true cilia.

Pseudostratified columnar epithelia are found forming the straight, tubular glands of the endometrium in females.
