Part B What are the visible characteristics of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium? Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) The nuclei are found in multiple planes, giving the illusion of multiple cell layers. Each cell within the pseudostratified tissue can be clearly seen touching the basement membrane. Cilia project from the apical surface into the lumen. Each cell has a uniform height yet the nuclei fall in multiple different planes. Goblet cells are columnar cells that can be seen interspersed within the tissue.

Step 1
This type of epithelium appears to have multiple layers due to the varying positions of nuclei, but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane. Show more…

Which of these are visible characteristics of stratified squamous epithelium? Select all that apply. Stratified squamous epithelium is always adjacent to a free space or lumen. The boundary between stratified squamous epithelium and connective tissue is indistinct and hard to see. The squamous cells closer to the lumen are fuller and rounder while the squamous cells closer to the connective tissue are flatter. There are so many layers of cells that it would be difficult to count them precisely. The squamous cells closer to the lumen are flatter while the squamous cells closer to the connective tissue are fuller and rounder.

5- What is the function of the basement membrane? Based on cell shape, epithelial tissues can be divided into four categories including: 1)squamous which are thin and flat, 2)cuboidal which are similar in width and height, 3)columnar are taller than they are wide and 4)transitional which can change shape from cuboidal to squamous and back again. Epithelial tissues can also be categorized based on the number of layers of cells found in the tissue. These categories include: 1)simple which means a single layer of cells, 2)stratified which is two or more layers of cells and 3)pseudostratified

Ciliated tissue can be found in the form of simple columnar epithelium or pseudostratified columnar epithelium. A. Compare and contrast how these two cell types appear histologically. (2 points) B. Why are these epithelia considered heterogeneous? (3 points) C. Explain how chronic exposure to cigarette smoke can cause metaplasia of respiratory epithelium. What histological changes are observed?
