The Two Major Types of Cell Layering in Epithelia Are

Question

The two major types of cell layering in epithelia are
A) simple and proper.
B) stratified and pseudostratified.
C) squamous and simple.
D) simple and stratified.
E) cuboidal and columnar.

Accepted Answer

The two major types of cell layering in epithelia are simple (single layer of cells) and stratified (multiple layers of cells). Therefore, choice D (simple and stratified) is the best answer. Choice B (stratified and pseudostratified) is not correct because pseudostratified epithelium is a type of stratified epithelium. Choices A, C, and E are not correct because they do not describe the two major types of cell layering in epithelia.
