Simple Squamous • LAYERS: • CELLS: • LOCATIONS: • FUNCTIONS:
- LAYERS: One
- CELLS: Flat, plate-like cells often described as scale-like; nucleus is oval and in the center of the cell
- LOCATIONS: (1) inside lining of blood vessels where it is called endothelium; (2) alveoli of the lungs, (3) lining the outside of the lungs as visceral pleura, (4) lining of the outside of the heart as the serous visceral pericardium, (5) lining of the outside of the intestines as visceral peritoneum, (6) lining of the thoracic cavity as parietal pleura, and (7) lining of the abdominal cavity as the parietal peritoneum.
- FUNCTIONS: (1) Regulate gas, metabolite and fluid exchange; (2) support; (3) protection

SIMPLE CUBOIDAL • LAYERS: • CELLS: • LOCATIONS: • FUNCTIONS:
- LAYERS: One
- CELLS: Cuboidal in shape with a round central nucleus; free surface may have microvilli
- LOCATIONS: (1) ducts of glands; (2) proximal and distal convoluted renal tubules, (3) collecting ducts of kidney; (4) bronchioles of the lungs
- FUNCTIONS: (1) absorption; (2) secretion; (3) protection

SIMPLE COLUMNAR • LAYERS: • CELLS: • LOCATIONS: • FUNCTIONS:
• LAYERS: One
• CELLS: Columnar in shape with an oval nucleus near the base of the cell; free surface
may have microvilli or cilia
• LOCATIONS: (1) large ducts of glands; (2) lining of the stomach and intestines; (3)
lining of bronchi of the lungs
• FUNCTIONS: (1) absorption; (2) secretion; (3) protection; (4) transport

SIMPLE COLUMNAR
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR • LAYERS: • CELLS: • LOCATIONS: • FUNCTIONS:
• LAYERS: One
• CELLS: All the cells of this epithelium lie on the basal lamina, but not all the cells reach
the free surface. The cells reaching the surface are columnar in shape. They taper near the base of the cell but the nucleus lies in the non-tapered part of the cell. The free surface of the cells usually has cilia. Those cells that do not reach the free surface are round basal cells with a round central nucleus.
• LOCATIONS: (1) trachea and primary bronchi; (2) epididymis and vas deferens
• FUNCTIONS: (1) absorption; (2) secretion; (3) transport

STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS MUCOUS (MUCOUS, NON-KERATINIZED) • LAYERS: • CELLS: • LOCATIONS: • FUNCTIONS:
- LAYERS: Multiple
- CELLS: Surface cells are flat, viable, nucleated squamous cells. Cells near the basal lamina are columnar to cuboidal is shape while cells in the middle layers are round.
- LOCATIONS: (1) oral cavity; (2) esophagus; (3) vagina; (4) anal canal
- FUNCTIONS: (1) protection; (2) lubrication
