–Groups of cells with similar structure and function
tissues
Four primary types
epithelium
muscle
nervous
connective
epithelial tissues are found in
body coverings
body lining
grandular tissue
functions of epithelial tissue
protection, absorption filtration secretion
how many layer sa simple epithelium

more than one layer
shape of squamous
flattened
shape of cuboidal
cube-shaped
columnar shape
column-like
where is simple squamous located
alveoli or lungs
where is stratified squamous located
skin
simple cuboidal epithelium is found in
kidney
simple columnar epithelium
small intestine
ciliated columnar epithelium
trachea
pseudostratified epithelium
bronchi
transitional epithelium
urinary
–Single layer of cube-like cells–Common in glands and their ducts–Forms walls of kidney tubules–Covers the ovaries
simple cuboidal epithelium
–Single layer of tall cells–Often includes goblet cells, which produce mucus–Lines digestive tract
simple columnar
–Single layer, but some cells are shorter than others–Often looks like a double cell layer–Sometimes ciliated, such as in the respiratory tract–May function in absorption or secretion
Pseudostratified
stratified squamous undergo
mitosis
