Question

these cells function as support cells and protective cells for neurons: 1 point goblet cells striated glial squamous which type of epithelial tissue is stretchable and resembles an umbrella? 1 point cuboidal pseudostratified squamous transitional

Explanation:

• First question: Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non - neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. They provide support, protection, and nourishment to neurons. Goblet cells are part of the epithelial tissue and secrete mucus. Striated refers to a type of muscle (skeletal or cardiac muscle) with a striped appearance. Squamous is a type of epithelial cell shape (flat - like).
• Second question: Transitional epithelium is stretchable. It is found in organs such as the urinary bladder. When the bladder is empty, the cells are more rounded (resembling an umbrella in some views as they stack), and when it is full, the cells stretch and flatten. Cuboidal epithelium has cube - shaped cells. Pseudostratified epithelium appears to be stratified but is actually a single layer of cells. Squamous epithelium has flat cells.

Answer:

• First question: glial
• Second question: transitional
