Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description and type of epithelial tissue? A. Pseudostratified epithelium: multiple layers of cells; the deepest layer rests on the basement membrane. B. Glandular epithelium: arises from surface epithelia and underlying connective tissue. C. Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on the basement membrane. D. Simple epithelium: cells in contact with the intercellular matrix; some do not extend to surface.

What are the visible characteristics of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium? Select all that apply. The nuclei are found in multiple planes, giving the illusion of multiple cell layers. Goblet cells are columnar cells that can be seen interspersed within the tissue. 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.
