UNit 4 Flashcards
Epithelial tissue is the
lining
Epithelial tissue functions include
Protection Absorbtion Filtration Secrestion
The top of epithelial tissue is called
Free surface or Apical
The bottom of epithelial tissue is called
Basal Surface
The membrane underneath the basal surface in epithelial tissue is called
the basement membrane
what does avascular meane
no blood vessels
What are epithelial tissues classified by
layers and shapes
Simple epithelial
only one layer of cells
stratified epithelial tissue
More than one layer of cells
Simple squamous epithelium:
This Is a single, flat layer of cells that Is thin
and permeable.
Simple squamous epithelium:
Function: rapid diffusion of materials
Simple squamous epithelium:
Found in blood vessels & lung tissues
Simple cuboidal epithelium:
*This is a single layer of cube-shaped cells.
Simple cuboidal epithelium:
> Function: Secretion & absorption of
substances
Simple cuboidal epithelium:
- Found in the tissues of the kidney
Stratified squamous
epithelium:
These thick layers provide protection for th
underlying layers
Stratified squamous
epithelium:
Found in the epidermal layer of the skin
Stratified cuboidal
epithelium:
More than one layer of cuboidal cells
Stratified cuboidal
epithelium:
Found In Salivary & mammary gianas
Stratified columnar
epithelium:
Free surface is lined with columnar cells

pseudo-stratified epithelium
cell nuclei are found at diffrent levels, so It appears
stratified. though it is not.
pseudo-stratified epithelium
Function: Secretion & Absorption
pseudo-stratified epithelium
Found In most of the upper respiratory
tract
transitional epithelium
changing shape with elasticity found in the bladder
Exocrine gland
