Tall, narrow cells arranged in a single layer correspond to a simple columnar epithelial tissue.

Explanation:

According to the arrangement of cells, epithelial tissues can be classified as:

- Simple epithelium, formed by a single cellular layer which is in contact with the basement membrane

- Stratified epithelium, formed by two or more cellular layers. The cellular shape and high vary from one layer to the other. In classification, only the superficial layer is considered.

- Transitional epithelium. In this case, the epithelial cells vary in shape and size allowing the tissue to stretch.

Classification of epithelial tissues according to the cell shape:

- Squamous epithelium: Epithelial cells are flat and thin. Their nucleus is narrow and centered. This epithelium can be found in endothelium, mesothelium, pericardium, and peritoneum.

- Cuboidal epithelium: Epithelial cells are cubic shaped: their width, length and high are about equal. Their nucleus is rounded and centered. This epithelium can be found in kidney tubules, Malpighi tubules, thyroid gland, salivary glands, and pancreas.

- Columnar epithelium: Epithelial cells are tall, rectangular and/or column-shaped, longer than width. Their nucleus is ovoid and near to the base. This epithelium can be found in the stomach, intestine, duct of glands, Fallopian trumps, etc. Their functions are related to secretion, absorption, protection, motility.

Types of epithelium tissue:

- Simple squamous epithelium

- Simple cuboidal epithelium

- Simple columnar epithelium

- Stratified squamous epitheliums

- Stratified cuboidal epitheliums

- Stratified columnar epitheliums

- Transitional epithelium

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student, including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as edutech.
