What is the function of pseudostratified epithelium and where can it be found?

A

Movement and secretion

Respiratory tract

18
Q

State the function of connective tissue and an example of where it can be found

A

Connects and supports

Cartilage

19
Q

What are the defining histological characteristics of connective tissue?

A

Few cells
