      True

    • B.

      False

  • 5. 

    What two surface do epithelial cells contain?

    • A.

      Rough and smooth.

    • B.

      Granular and jagged.

    • C.

      Basement membrane and brush border.

    • D.

      Apical and basal.

    • E.

      Kerotinized and stratified.

    Correct Answer
    D. Apical and basal.
  • 6. 

    The apical surface of epithelial tissue faces the underlying connective tissue and the basal surface faces the lumen.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
  • 7. 

    What do epithelial cells rely on to provide oxygen and nutrients and why?

    • A.

      Rely on osmosis to absorbs nutrients from the external source due to loose connective cellular matrixs.

    • B.

      Rely on underlying connective tissue and are vascular.

    • C.

      Rely on goblet cells to provide nutrients because of the pinocytosis actions of the goblet cells.

    • D.

      Transport RNA delivers the nutrients to the cells because Epithelial cells lack ATP to produce their own nutrition.
