simple squamous
what type of tissue is this?
stratified squamous keratinised
function of epithelial tissue
protection
,
secretion
, absorption, excretion
glandular epithelial
tissue
Cells produce a
secretion
required by the body
surface lining
epithelium
Covers and lines all
natural surfaces
of the body
structural features of epithelium
highly
cellular
, with little intercellular substance, avascular, apical, and basal surfaces, underlying
basement
membrane
How is epithelial tissue classified based on the number of cell layers?
Simple
epithelium,
Stratified
epithelium and
pseudostratified
definition of
simple
epithelium
single
layer
of cells
function of simple epithelium
diffusion
,
filtration
,
secretion
,
absorption
simple squamous epithelium location
air sacs
of
lungs
,
walls
of
capillaries
,
lining
of the
heart
,
linings
of blood and lymph vessels
simple squamous epithelium function
allows
materials
to
pass
by
diffusion
and
filtration
in sites where protection is not important;
secretes lubricating substances
in
serosae
simple cuboidal epithelium location
Kidney tubules
; ducts and secretory portions of small glands;
ovary
surface
simple cuboidal epithelium function
secretion
and
absorption
simple columnar epithelium location
ciliated
variety
lines
small bronchi
,
uterine
tubes
, and some regions of the
uterus.
Nonciliated
type
lines
most of the
digestive tract
and
bladder
simple
columnar
epithelium function
absorption; secretion of
mucus
,
enzymes
definition of stratified epithelia
Epithelial tissue with
two
or
more
layers
of
cells
function of stratified epithelium
Provides protection against
abrasion
,
pathogens
, and chemical attacks.
stratified squamous epithelium
location
lines the
esophagus
,
mouth
, and
vagina
stratified squamous epithelium function
protects underlying tissues
in areas subject to
abrasion
stratified cuboidal epithelium location
sweat
glands,
salivary
glands,
mammary
glands
stratified cuboidal epithelium function
protection
stratified columnar epithelium location
the male
urethra
and the
ducts
of
some
glands
stratified columnar epithelium function
secretion
and
protection
definition of pseudostratified epithelium
pretends
to
be
more than one layer
pseudostratified epithelium function
secretion
and
movement
of
mucus
via ciliary sweeping.
Pseudostratified Columnar location
ciliated tissue lines the
trachea
and much of the
upper respiratory
tract
Pseudostratified Columnar function
secretes
mucus
;
ciliated
tissue
moves
mucus
