7
Q
- Stomach lining
- Intestinal lining
- Gallbladder
- Uterine tubes
- Collecting ducts of kidneys
A
Simple Columnar Epithelium
8
Q
salivary gland duct
A
Stratified columnar
9
Q
Location:
- capillaries
- alveoli
- glomeruli
- mesothelium
Function:
- most delicate type
- smoothly lines chambers and passageways that don’t communicate outside
A
Simple Squamous Epithelium
10
Q
Location:
- surface of ovaries
- lining of nephrons
- walls of renal tubules
- parts of eye and thyroid
Function:
- provide limited protection
- secretions and transport (active or passive pumping)
A
Simple cuboidal epithelium
11
Q
Location:
- where mechanical stresses are severe.
- Surface of skin
- lining of mouth
- esophagus
- anus
Function:
- protection against chemical and physical attacks
A
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
12
Q
Location:
- small intestine
- stomach and large intestine
Function:
- found where absorption and secretion occur.
- In stomach/small intestine protects from chemical stress
A
Simple Columnar Epithelium
13
Q
Location:
- Rare.
- Along ducts of sweat glands and larger ducts of mammary glands
Function:
- protection
- secretion/absorption
A
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
14
Q
Location:
- Rare
- Pharynx
- epiglottis
- anus
- urethra
- A few large excretory ducts
Function:
- protection
- Note: has two or multiple layers; if latter
- only superficial cells are columnar
A
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
15
Q
Location:
- tracheal and bronchial regions of pulmonary system
- female reproductive tract
Function:
- semipermeable membrane
- cells are connected via tight junctions/desmosomes
- more selective than other types of membranes
A
Simple Ciliated Columnar
16
Q
Location:
- nasal cavity
- trachea
- bronchi
- portions of male reproductive tract
Function:
- several cell types w/ various functions.
- Typically have cilia
A
Pseudo-stratified columnar
17
Q
Location:
- urinary bladder
- renal pelvis
Function:
- permits expansion and recoil after stretching
A
Transitional Epithelium
