2. Epithelial tissue, which covers surfaces, is further classified based on the number of cell layers. Simple epithelium has:

• A. No layers
• B. One layer
• C. Two to several layers
• D. Many tightly packed layers

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'One layer.' Simple epithelium is characterized by having a single layer of cells. This type of epithelial tissue is found in areas where diffusion, filtration, or absorption are primary functions. Simple epithelium allows for efficient exchange of substances across the cell layer due to its thin structure and close proximity to underlying tissues. Examples of locations where simple epithelium is found include the lining of blood vessels (endothelium) and air sacs of the lungs (alveoli). In contrast, stratified epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells and is commonly found in areas that require protection against mechanical or chemical stress, such as the skin and the lining of the esophagus.

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Organ system. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out a specific function in the body. While an organ is made up of different types of tissues that work together, an organ system involves multiple organs collaborating to perform more complex tasks. Tissues (option A) are groups of similar cells working together, organelles (option C) are structures within cells that have specific functions, and organs (option D) are made up of tissues and perform specific functions, but the term 'organ system' specifically refers to a higher level of organization involving multiple organs working in coordination.

• A. Country club management
• B. Organization man management
• C. Team management
• D. Authority-obedience management

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Organization man management.' This type of management focuses on maintaining the efficiency and structure of an organization. In this scenario, the manager's emphasis on the quality of services aligns with the principles of organization man management, which prioritizes the coordination of tasks and resources to achieve optimal results within the organization. This contrasts with 'Country club management,' which emphasizes employee satisfaction over task accomplishment; 'Team management,' which focuses on collaboration and teamwork; and 'Authority-obedience management,' which centers on strict hierarchical control. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'B: Organization man management.'
