Epithelial tissue

• What are the types of epithelial tissue according to the number of cell layers?

  Simple, stratified, pseudostratified
• What are the types of epithelial tissue according to the morphology of the surface cell?

  Squamous, cuboidal, and columnar
• Cilia is a special surface modification found where?

  Uterine tubes, uterus, and conducting tubes of respiratory system
• Microvilli is a special surface modification found where?

  Absorptive cells in the SMALL INTESTINE and PCT
• Stereocilia is a special surface modification found where?

  Epididymis and vas deferens
• Transitional: Bladders, ureters, and renal calyces
• Stratified squamous keratinized: protection and prevents WATER LOSS
• Stratified cuboidal: protection and secretion
• SIMPLE Columnar: Protection, lubrication, absorption, and secretion
• STRATIFIED Columnar: Protection
• STRATIFIED Squamous Non-keratinized: Protection, SECRETION, and prevents water loss
• STRATIFIED Columnar: Conjunctiva
• SIMPLE Squamous: Facilitates the movement of the VISCERA (mesothelium), active transport by PINOCYTOSIS (mesothelium and endothelium), secretion of biologically active molecules (mesothelium)
• SIMPLE Squamous: Lining of vessels (endothelium); Serious lining of cavities: pericardium, pleura, peritoneum (mesothelium)
• STRATIFIED Squamous keratinized: Epidermis
• SIMPLE Columnar: lining of intestine and GALLBLADDER
• Transitional: PROTECTION and DISTENSIBILITY
• SIMPLE Cuboidal: Covering the OVARY and THYROID
• PSEUDOSTRATIFIED: Protection, secretion; CILIA-mediated transport of particles trapped in mucus out of the air passages.
• STRATIFIED Squamous Nonkeratinized: MOUTH, esophagus, larynx, vagina, and anal canal
• SIMPLE Cuboidal: Covering and Secretion
• STRATIFIED Cuboidal: Sweat glands and developing ovarian follicles
• PSEUDOSTRATIFIED: Lining of TRACHEA, bronchi, and nasal cavity
