B/B section bank #46, tissue type clarification

[I'm ugly and I'm proud]

So this question was basically asking for me to identify the tissue types for ovarian cells and osteoclasts. I knew osteoclasts are bone cells so they're connective tissue, but I didn't know that ovarian cells were epithelial tissue. All I remember about epithelial tissue is that they consist of skin/lining stuff.

Are there any exceptional examples I should know for epithelial tissue? Kinda like how connective tissue includes things like blood, bones, and fat.

The ovary is a gland, all glands are made of epithelial cells.

Most organs are made up of more than one cell type to provide structural support and scaffolding to the function part of the organ. I dont ever see this type of question as being relevant on the MCAT. Histology is not tested on the MCAT.

It is a fact that organs are made of different tissue types and since ovaries are glands, they have cells of different kind.
