EPITHELIUM TISSUES Flashcards
ID the tissue
Simple Squamous epithelium
A single layer of flat cells(looks like a platter of fried eggs “sunny-side up”
Location: Air sacs (alveoli) of lungs & lining of blood vessels.
Function: diffusion or filtration needs to occur rapidly
Simple squamous epithelium
A single layer of roughly cube-shaped cells
Location: Lines kidneys tubles and small ducts of glands(thyroid glands)
Function: Allows for reabsorption and secretion.
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
A single layer of tall rectangular cells
Location: lines the gall-bladder and the most of the G.I. tract, digestive tract
Function: absorption & secreation
Simple Columnar Epithelium

Simple Columnar Epithelium
ID the tissue
Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium
Its the most superficial, multiple cell layers, flat, elongated, nuclei
Location: oral cavity
function: withstand mechanical force (tough stuff)
NonKeratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium
What is the FUNCTION of simple squamous epithelium?
Function: diffusion and filtration, and secretes lubricating substance
What is the LOCATION of simple squamous epithelium?
Air Sacs (alveoli) of lungs.
lines the inside of heart & lining of blood vessels.
the FUNCTION of simple cuboidal epithelium?
secretion and reabsorption of molecules(hormones)
the LOCATION of simple cuboidal epithelium?
lining of the kidney tubules and ducts of glands (thyroid glands)
the FUNCTION of simple columnar epithelium?
absorption of molecules.
Absorption and secretion
the LOCATION of Non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
lining your oral cavity, vagina, rectum, anus
The function of Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
with stand mechanical force (tough stuff)
