Which type of epithelial tissue is specialized for absorption and often contains microvilli on its apical surface?

Accepted Answer

Simple columnar epithelium

Question 13

A pathologist is examining a tissue sample and notes that the nuclei are oval and located near the basal surface. The cells are taller than they are wide. What type of epithelial tissue is this?

Accepted Answer

Simple columnar epithelium

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of epithelial tissue?

Accepted Answer

Cells are highly vascularized

Question 15
