Simple squamous:
In the lungs/capillaries.
Function: Efficient Diffusion/filter.
Stratified Squamous:
Location: Skin, mouth, rectum
Function: Protection
Simple Columnar:
Location: Small Intestine, Stomach
Function: Secrete Mucus, Absorption of microvilli
Pseudostratified columnar:
Location: Respiratory Tract, Fallopian Tube
Function: Secrete mucus, cilia (movement)
Strafitifed columnar:
Location: Male Urethra
Function: Support tube structure + some movement.
Simple Cuboid:
Location: Thyroid, Kidney, Ovaries
Function: Secretes and Absorbs
Stratified Cuboid:
Location: Pancreas, Sweat Glands, Salivary
Function: Secretion/absorption, some protection
