Epithelium and connective tissue Flashcards
location of simple squamous
alveoli, lumen of blood vessels and lymph vessels, serous membranes of body cavities
location of simple cuboidal
kidney tubules, thyroid gland follicles, surface of ovary, secretory regions and ducts of most glands
location of simple noncillated columnar
inner lining of digestive tract
location of simple cilliated columnar
lining of larger bronchioles and uterine tubes
location of cilliated pseduostratified columnar
lining of nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi
location of noncillated psedostratified columnar
part of male urethra and epididymis
function of simple squamous
allow for rapid diffusion and filtration; secretion in serous membranes
function of simple cuboidal
Absorption and secretion; forms secretory tissue of most glands and small ducts
function of simple noncillated columnar
absorption and secretion; secretion of mucin
function of simple cilliated columnar
Secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along apical surface of epithelium by cilia; oocyte movement through uterine tube
function of cilliated pseduostratified columnar
Protection; secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along apical surface of epithelium by cilia
function of noncillated psedostratified columnar
