21
Q

Name a function of simple squamous

A

Diffusion

22
Q

Single layer cube like cells

A

Simple cuboidal

23
Q

Where can you find simple cuboidal cells

A

Walls of kidney tubules, surface of ovaries

24
Q

What do the cuboidal cells do

A

Secret, reabsorption in tubules of kidney

25
Q

Tall column like cells, single layer, nuclei is oval and near basement membrane

A

Columnar cells

26
Q

Where can you find simple columnar cells

A

Lines lumen of uterine tubes, or lines lumen of gallbladder

27
Q

What do columnar cells do

A

Secrete , absorb nutrients and water in intestines

28
Q

What is the cells that differ in height, touches the basement membrane and have cilia, and nuclei sit in different spots

A

Pseudo stratified cilliated columnar

29
Q

What does pseudo mean

A

False

30
Q

Where can you find pseudo stratified cilliated columnar

A

Lining of trachea

31
Q

What is the main function of pseudo stratified cilliated columnar

A

Trapping mucous secretion from goblet cells, cilia helps move trapped particles

32
Q

Many layers of cells, cells become flatter near apical (skin),

A

Stratified squamous

33
Q

Where can you find stratified squamous cells

A

Skin layer, lining of mouth,

34
Q

What is the function of stratified squamous

A

Protection of abrasion, pathogens, and water loss

35
Q

This looks like stratified squamous but have more visible nuclei, can go from very stacked to expanded and stacked

A

Transitional epithelial

36
Q

Where can you find transitional epithelial

A

Lining of bladder

37
Q

What is the function of transitional epithelial

A

Allows space to expand or contract as urine collects
