Epithelial Tissue Flashcards
composed of one layer of cells
simple epithelial tissue
linings of blood vessels, ducts, digestive tract
simple epithelial tissue
composed of two or more later of cells
stratified epithelial tissue
located in sites subjected to friction or pressure
stratified epithelial tissue
examples are skin, vagina, esophagus
stratified epithelial tissue
keratinized
skin
non-keratinized
esophagus
all cells are in contact with the basement membrane, but not all reach the surface
pseudo-stratified epithelial tissue
lining of respiratory tract, urethra of males
pseudo-stratified epithelial tissue
for secretion
glandular epithelial tissue
goblet cells in intestines
unicellular glandular epithelial tissue
could be with ducts (endocrine glands) or without ducts (endocrine glands)
multicellular glandular epithelial tissue
ducts such as sweat glands and oil glands
exocrine glands
without ducts such as the thyroid glands and adrenals
endocrine glands
for reception of stimuli and transmission of impulses
sensory epithelial tissue
