Histology Concepts Worksheet
Directions: Use your notes and textbook (pages 86-90) to answer the following
questions on a separate piece of paper.

2. Epithelial tissues are classified according to shape and number of layers. Define the
following terms:
a. Squamousb. Cubiodalc. Columnard. Simplee. Stratified3. What is the general function specific to “simple” epithelium? What is the general
function specific to “stratified” epithelium?

heart, lungs, etc..). Describe where in the thoracic cavity you can find ALL of the
following types of tissues.
• Loose connective
