Which of the following is a shape of epithelial tissue?
-
Triangial
-
Rectangial
-
Squamous
-
Circular
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Squamous is the correct answer because it refers to a shape of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that covers the surfaces of organs, lines body cavities, and forms glands. Squamous epithelial cells are flat and thin, resembling scales or tiles. They are found in places where diffusion or filtration occurs, such as the lining of blood vessels, air sacs in the lungs, and the outer layer of the skin. Triangial, rectangial, and circular are not recognized shapes of epithelial tissue.
