Stratified columnar

Answer 4

Columnar cells on the free surface
-rare in the body
-found in the larynx and the male urethra

Question 5

Pseudo-stratified

Answer 5

Cell nuclei are found at different levels, so it appears stratified, though it is not
-function: secretion and absorption

Question 6

Transitional

Answer 6

Free surface cells vary in appearance, based on the stretching of the tissue
“Transition”=change shape with elasticity
