Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Structure: Single layer of flattened cells with disc shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm.
- Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration.
- Location: Kidney, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.
-
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Structure: Single layer of cube like cells with large spherical central nuclei
- Function: Secretion and absorption
- Location: Kidney tubules, ducts, portions of small glands; ovary surface.
-
Name structures at E.O.P.
Goblet Cell & Cilia
-
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Ciliated
- Structure: Single layer of cells of differeing heights, some not reaching the free surface; nuclei seen at different levels; may contain goblet cells or have cilia.
- Function: Secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action.
- Location: Ciliated types line the trachea, most of the upper respiratiory tract.
- Non ciliated types line male's sperm carrying ducts.
-
Stratified Squamous Epithelium Non Keratinized
- Structure: Thick membrane, surface cells are flattened. Non Keratinized type are wet.
- Function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.
- Location: Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of esophagus, mouth and vagina.
-
Name tissue type
Stratified Squamous Epithelium Keratinized
- Structure: Thick membrane of flattened cells that are dead and contain keratin but no nuclei
- Function: Protects underlying tissue
- Location: Forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane.
-
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Structure: Usually two layers of cube like cells
- Function: Protection
- Location: Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands and salivary glands.
-
Transitional Epithelium
- Structure: Resembles both stratitifed squamous and straitifed cuboidal. Surface cells dome shaped.
- Function: Stretches amd permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine.
- Location: Lines the ureters, bladder and part of the urethra.
-
