produces mucus which is propelled by cilia

A

17
Q

Dry Cutaneous Membrane

A

composed of dead surface cells filled with protein keratin that help form a barrier to water, microbes and abrasion

18
Q

Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: mesothelia (serosae), endothelia (lining of blood vessels, heart, lymphatic vessels), lung alveoli (air sacs), lining of Bowman’s capsule, and loop of Henle in kidneys
Functions: diffusion, filtration, secretion of serous fluid

19
Q

Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: lines of tubules of kidney, glands, and ducts
Functions: absorption and secretion

20
Q

Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: non-ciliated - lines gi tract from stomach to rectum and gall bladder
ciliated - lining small bronchi, uterine (fallopian) tubes, and some regions of the uterus
Functions: absorption and secretion

21
Q

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: non-ciliated - lines sperm carrying ducts and ducts of large glands
ciliated - lines trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract
Function: secretion

22
Q

Stratified Squamos Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: non-keratinized - lines moist surfaces (oral cavity, esophagus, vagina, and anus)
keratinized - dry surfaces (skin epidermis)
Function: protection

23
Q

Transitional Epithelial Tissue

A

Locations: lines ureters, bladder and part of the urethra
Function: distention/expansion/stretching
