Study Notes
Types of Epithelial Tissue Locations
-
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Found in air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs
- Facilitates gas exchange due to its thin, flat structure
-
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Located in kidney tubules
- Involved in secretion and absorption processes
-
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Present in the lining of the small intestine
- Specialized for absorption and secretion of substances
-
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
- Located in the passages of the respiratory system
- Contains cilia and mucus to trap and move particles out of the airways
-
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- Found in the oral cavity and esophagus
- Provides protection against abrasion and friction due to its multiple layers
