lab test 2 Flashcards
simple squamous epithelium
irregular shape and lack of layering
simple squamous epithelium function
secretes, lubricates, filtration, diffusion,osmosis
Simple squamous epithelium locations
alveoli, walls of capillaries, kidney glomeruli
Stratified squamous epithelium
Irregularity shaped cells found in layers
Stratified squamous epithelium function
protection
Stratified squamous epithelium location
outer layer of skin, lining of mouth, throat, vagina and anal cavity
Simple cuboidal epithelium
cube-shaped cells often found lining tubes
Simple cuboidal epithelium function
secretion, absorption
Simple cuboidal epithelium location
lining kidney tubules, surface of ovary, lining ducts certain glands
Simple columnar epithelium
nuclei are all at about the same level which distinguishes
this from pseudostratified epithelium. Note the goblet cells.
Simple columnar epithelium function
ciliated propels mucous or reproductive cells, protection, secretion, absorption
Simple columnar epithelium location
lines uterus and digestive organs
pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium
nuclei appear to be at different levels due
to crowding of cells. This is only one layer of cells
Pseudo stratified columnar epithelium function
protection, secretion, and movement of mucous
Pseudo stratified columnar epithelium location
trachea and male urethra
human blood
identify leukocytes and erythrocytes
human blood function
Delivers nutrients, oxygen, removes CO2, immune function
human blood location
blood vessels
