Histology Flashcards
What are the types of epithelial cells
Cuboidal, Columnar, Squamous
Where are Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Cells found? (Organ and body system)
Glands -Endocrine
Liver - Digestive
Most kidney tubules - urinary
Where are stratified cuboidal ET cells founds (organ and body system)?
Major glands: mammary, some sweat glands- Endocrine
Reproduction
Egg-producing vesicles (follicles) of ovaries
Sperm-producing tubules
What is the functions of Epithelial Tissue?
“Find Some APES”
Protection, Secretion, Excretion, Absorption, Filtration, Sensation
Where is simple Squamous ET cells found (organ - system)
Air Sacs - Respiratory
Serous membrane of stomach - Digestive
Kidney tubules - Urinary
Where is stratified squamous ET (non-keratinized and keratinized) located (organ - system)
Non-keratinized: tongue, oral mucosa, esophagus - digestive
Vagina - reproductive
Keratinized: Epidermis - Integumentary
Where is Simple Columnar ET located (organ - system)
Inner lining of stomach, intensities, gall bladder - Digestive
Uterus - reproductive
uterine tubules - urinary
Where are pseudostratified columnar ET cells located (organ-system)
Typically ciliated
Respiratory tract from nasal to bronchi - respiratory
Portions of male urethra - reproductive
Where are transitional ET located (organ - system)
bladder, ureter, part of urethra - Urinary
Where are goblet cells found, and what is their function?
In simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelial
Produces protective mucous coating over mucous membrane
What if the function of simple cuboidal ET?
Secret/absorb/exchange
Hormone and spit
What is the function of stratified cuboidal ET?
Secretion
What is the function of simple columnar?
Absorb (nutrients)
Secrete (mucous, enzyme)
Exchange
What is the function of stratified columnar
Protect from internal pressure
What is the function of simple squamous ET?
Diffusion, filteration, secretion
