Function: Filtration, diffusion, osmosis, covers surface
Location: Air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries, lining body cavities
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Description: Single layer, cube-shaped cells
Function: Protection, secretion, absorption
Location: Surface of ovaries, linings of kidney tubules, and linings of ducts of certain glands
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Description: Single layer, elongated cells
Function: Protection, secretion, absorption
Location: Linings of uterus, stomach, and intestines
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Description: Single layer, elongated cells
Function: protection, secretion, movement of mucus and substances
Location: Linings of respiratory passages
Stratified squamous epithelium
Description: many layers, top cells flattened
Function: Protection
Location: Superficial portion of skin and linings of oral cavity, salivary glands, and pancreas
Stratified cuboidal epithelium
Description: 2-3 layers, cube shaped cells
Function: Protection
Location: Linings of ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands, and pancreas
Stratified columnar epithelium
Description: Top layer of elongated cells, lower layers of cube-shaped cells
Function: Protection, secretion
Location: Part of the male urethra and lining of larger ducts of excretory glands
Transitional epithelium
Description: Many layers of cube-shaped and elongated cells
Function: Distensibility, protection
Location: Inner lining of urinary bladder and linings of ureters and part of urethra
Glandular epithelium
