covers and lines up surfaces
epithelial cells
cells are attached to a basement membrane
Epithelial tissues
free surface of epithelial tissues (‘yung nasa ibabaw)
apical cells
motile; present in lungs and fallopian tubes
cilia
non- motile; epididymis and vas deferens
stereocile
non-motile; brush border of intestine
microvilli
bowman’s capsule, endothelium, loop of henle, lung alveoli
simple squamous (1 layer only)
ducts of glands, walls of thyroid follicles, kidney tubules
simple cuboidal
gall bladder (non-ciliated), uterine tube (ciliated)
simple columnar
skin (keratinized), vagina, esophagus, cervix
stratified squamous (2 layers)
ducts of sweat glands
stratifies cuboidal

transitional
trachea (ciliated), epididymis
pseudostratified columnar (mukhang mataas pero 1 layer lang)
nerve glue; for support, protection, and insulation
neuroglia (aka glial cells)
CNS neuroglia for CSF production
