Quiz Questions (16 questions)
1. The epithelium lies on a basement membrane.
2. Epithelial tissues have closely aggregated cells.
3. Functions of the basement membrane include molecular filtering.
4. Basement membranes serve to support the epithelial layer, connect the epithelial layers with the underlying tissues, and act as a diffusion or filtration barrier.
5. The basement membrane can be stained with PAS reaction.
6. Glycoproteins in the basal lamina give a positive PAS reaction.
7. The reticular lamina contains reticular fibers.
8. The basement membrane provides structural support for epithelial cells.
9. The basement membrane acts as a filter of diffusing macromolecules.
10. The basement membrane is only breached in malignancy.
11. The shapes of epithelial cells are variable.
12. Adjacent epithelial cells are adhering to one another by cellular junctions.
13. The components of the basal lamina are secreted from the basal sides of the epithelial cells.
14. All components of the reticular lamina are produced by cells of the connective tissue.
15. Polarity refers to the intrinsic asymmetry observed in cells, either in the shape, structure, or organization of cellular organelles and membrane proteins.
16. With the EM, the basement membrane is composed of two parts: the basal lamina and the reticular lamina.
Previous Exam Questions (32 questions)
1. Epithelial tissues are characterized by closely aggregated cells.
2. Functions of the basement membrane include molecular filtering.
3. Anchoring fibrils of type VII collagen bind the basal lamina to the reticular lamina.
4. Active contraction of epithelial cells is NOT a function of the basement membrane.
5. Epithelial tissues are avascular, meaning they lack blood vessels.
6. The primary function of the lamina propria is to provide nutrition to epithelial tissues.
7. Epithelial cells exhibit polarity, having distinct basal and apical poles.
8. The connective tissue layer underlying epithelial tissues is called the lamina propria.
9. Papillae, which increase the area of contact between epithelium and connective tissue, are most commonly found in the skin and tongue.
10. The skin's epithelial function is protection.
11. The basement membrane is a thin extracellular sheet of macromolecules between the basal surface of epithelia and the underlying connective tissue.
12. Characteristic features of epithelium include: epithelial tissues are composed of closely aggregated cells forming cellular sheets that line the cavities of organs, cover the body surface or form clusters of cells as in glands; the shapes of epithelial cells are variable (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) with nuclear shape corresponding roughly to cell shape; adjacent epithelial cells are adhering strongly to one another by cellular junctions; the basal surface of all epithelia rests on a thin extracellular sheet called the basement membrane; epithelia do not themselves normally contain blood vessels (avascular); and most epithelia are adjacent to connective tissue containing blood vessels from which the epithelial cells receive nutrients.
13. The connective tissue that underlies the epithelia lining the organs of the digestive system is called the lamina propria.
14. The basement membrane is a thin extracellular sheet of macromolecules between the basal surface of epithelia and the underlying connective tissue.
15. The parts of the basement membrane, as seen with an electron microscope, are the basal lamina and the reticular lamina.
16. The area of contact between the epithelium and connective tissue may be increased by small invaginations called papillae.
17. Epithelial tissues have closely aggregated cells.
18. Functions of the basement membrane include molecular filtering.
19. Anchoring fibrils of type VII collagen bind the basal lamina to the reticular lamina.
20. Active contraction of epithelial cells is not a function of the basement membrane.
21. Epithelial tissues are avascular.
22. The lamina propria provides nutrition to epithelial tissues.
23. Epithelial cells have distinct basal and apical poles.
24. The connective tissue layer underlying epithelial tissues is called the lamina propria.
25. Papillae, which increase the area of contact between epithelium and connective tissue, are most commonly found in the skin and tongue.
26. Protection is an epithelial function associated with the skin.
27. The basement membrane is a thin extracellular sheet of macromolecules between the basal surface of epithelia and the underlying connective tissue.
28.

Alright, let's break down **Epithelial Tissue** and the **Basement Membrane**. This is really important stuff because epithelial tissue is one of the four basic tissue types in the body. The others are connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. These tissues make up all the organs in your body. Each...
