Epidedial Tissue Flashcards
Simple Squamous
One layer thin flat cells,found in filtration and diffusion sites lines the alveoli
Simple cuboidal
Single layered square shaped cell. Secretion and absorption Lines kidney tubules and covers ovaries
Simple Columnar
Single layer of elongated cells Secretion and absorption Lines the uterus, stomach,intestines
Pseudostratified columnar
Single layer,but appears layered
Cells vary in shape
has cilia, goblet cells
Protection from infection
Lines Respiratory passageways
Stratified squamous
Many cell layer\thick
Outermost cells are flat
Outer layer of skin (keratinized)
Lines oral cavity, vagina, anal canal
Stratified cuboidal
2-3 layers of cube-shaped cells
Lines ducts of mammy,sweat,&
salivary glands and pancreas
Stratified columnar
Top layer of elongated cells
Cube-shaped cells in
deeper layers
Lines part of male urethra, ducts of exocrine gland
Transitional (uroepithelium)
Many cell layers
Cube-shaped and elongated
cells
Changes shape with increased
tension; stretches
Line urinary bladder, ureters,
and part of urethra
