Q

classifying epithelia

A

simple (one layer) diffusion

squamous (flat) boundry
cuboidal (cube) secreting/diffusion
columnar (colomns) secreating *making mucus

31
Q

two major types of epithelia

A

covering/lining epithelia - outer covering of skin and internal organs, inner lining of internal tubes and cavities

glandular epithelia - regions of glands that secrete materials

32
Q

simple squamous

A

one layer, flat epithelium

coverings

cavities are lined by epithelium

examples - endotheliem (which is epitheliem on the inside), capsile of kidneys, inner ears , air sacs

36
Q

stratified squamous epithelium

A

multiple layers, flat epithelium

openings, many layers

want to protect the openings with layers

transitioning to stratied spithelium to simple as we move deeping where we want more diffusion

barriers when its an opening or close to an opening
