NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The given statement is true. Epithelial tissues can regenerate if apical layers are damaged. The epithelial tissues undergo rapid regeneration as the epithelial cells have the ability to rapidly divide and produce new cells and they continue to divide throughout life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The true statement is b) Cells in a pseudostratified columnar epithelium are all attached to the same basement membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -It takes approximately seven days after the epithelium heals for adhesions to form. However, if the stroma is involved, it may take eight weeks or more for epithelial cells to adhere to the underlying basement membrane/stroma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue would heal faster than stratified squamous tissue due to the fact that simple cuboidal tissue only represents one layer of cells while stratified squamous tissue consists of many cell layers.
