5 True/False Questions

1. basal surface → surface exposed to the superficial surface of external organs and the deep surface of the epidermis

   True        False

2. stratified squamous epithelium → this is found where filtration and the exchange of substances by diffusion is a priority, cells flattened laterally

   True        False

3. apical surface → upper free surface exposed to the body exterior or the cavity of an internal organ

   True        False

4. ground substance → unstructured material that fills the space between the cells and contains the fibers

   True        False

5. reticular fibers → just deep of the basal lamina, belongs to connective tissue

   True        False
