Name the 3 different types of epithelial tissue - ANSWER✔✔Squamous epithelial
tissue
Columnar epithelial tissue
Endothelium tissue
Describe squamous epithelial tissue - ANSWER✔✔A lining tissue that is only one

Describe columnar epithelial tissue - ANSWER✔✔Column shaped ciliated cells

What is meant by the term ciliated cell? - ANSWER✔✔A cell covered in cilia.
Cilia are fine, hair like projections that 'sweep' away pathogens from the lungs
How does smoking affect ciliated columnar tissue? - ANSWER✔✔The cilia can
break, lessening the 'sweeping action' overall. This leads to a build-up of mucus.
What is the role of the goblet cell? - ANSWER✔✔To produce mucus
How do goblet cells and ciliated cells work together? - ANSWER✔✔Goblet cells
produce mucus that sticks to pathogens, whilst cilia 'sweep' away the mucus
containing the pathogens
How does smoking affect the alveoli? - ANSWER✔✔Reduces the elasticity so
pockets of air form that cannot be expelled
Where is endothelial tissue found? - ANSWER✔✔Lining the inside of blood
vessels, lymphatic vessels and the heart
Describe the structure of endothelial tissue - ANSWER✔✔A layer of flattened
