Which tissue type is formed by many cells joining together, making it multinucleated?

A. dehydration:Massive third-degree burns destroy the skin barrier, allowing significant fluid loss through evaporation. This leads to hypovolemic shock, which is the most immediate and life-threatening concern after a severe burn.

B. unbearable pain:Third-degree burns often destroy nerve endings in the affected area, so pain may be minimal at the burn site itself. Pain is distressing but not the first life-threatening issue.

C. loss of immune function:Severe burns compromise the skin’s protective role, increasing susceptibility to infection. However, immune compromise develops over hours to days, making it a secondary threat compared to fluid loss.

D. infection:Infection is a major risk in burn patients due to the loss of the protective barrier, but it typically develops later. Immediate fluid loss poses a more urgent threat to life in the first hours following the burn.

A. simple cuboidal epithelium:Simple cuboidal epithelium is commonly found in glands and kidney tubules where secretion and absorption occur. It does not line blood vessels or play a role in preventing clot formation.

B. transitional epithelium:Transitional epithelium is specialized for stretching and is found in the urinary bladder and ureters. It is not present in blood or lymphatic vessels, so it does not influence clot prevention.

C. mesothelium:Mesothelium lines body cavities such as the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium. Its function is to reduce friction between organs, not to maintain smooth blood flow within vessels.

D. endothelium:Endothelium is the thin layer of simple squamous epithelium lining blood and lymphatic vessels. A healthy endothelium provides a smooth, non-thrombogenic surface that prevents clots from adhering to the vessel wall.
