1. Which of the following is NOT a primary function of epithelial tissue?
Protection
Secretion
Contraction
Absorption
2. Simple squamous epithelium is best suited for:
Areas requiring significant wear and tear protection

Movement of mucus via cilia
3. Epithelial tissues are characterized by closely packed cells and a high rate of .
4. The membrane separates epithelial tissue from underlying connective tissue.
5. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium appears to have multiple layers due to varying cell , but all cells are attached to the basement membrane.
