Epithelium Review Sheet
Key: Know the anatomical and histological names for the following
bolded structures, including modifications; assume that you will be
required to find the structures indicated by * on your own slides.
***This list is not guaranteed to be exhaustive, and only includes terms
from this unit. While we will not focus on quiz information from previous
weeks, knowledge of previous material may be useful***
Focus on epithelium histology, but keep in mind all of the following
terms. Be sure to give attention to epithelial modifications as outlined in
your lab manual.
Nomenclature
Be able to differentiate epithelium based on the following criteria
 Quantity of layers (simple, pseudostratified, stratified)
