Secretion and absorptio
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Consists of a single layer of elongated cells. Contains goblet cells that secretes mucus.
Simple Columnar Epith
Lines of digestive tract, gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Absorption, enzyme secretion
Simple Columnar Epithelium
A tuft of cilia tops each columnar cell, except for goblet cells.
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar
Epithelium
Lines the bronchi, uterine tubes and some regions of the uterus.
Propels mucus or reproductive cells by ciliary action.
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar
Epithelium
Consists of many layers of cells.
Stratified Squamous
Epithelium
Location: Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina. Keratinized variety lines the surface of the skin.
Stratified Squamous
Epithelium
Function: Protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.
Stratified Squamous
Epithelium
- (Adipocytes) contain large fat droplets that push the nuclei close to the plasma membrane.
