Flashcards

Squamous epithelium location?

Single layer of flattened cells; found in areas needing rapid diffusion and filtration.

Stratified epithelium function?

Multiple layers of cells; protects against abrasion in areas of high wear and tear.

Columnar epithelium function?

Epithelium with elongated cells; involved in absorption and secretion.

Ciliated epithelium function?

Epithelium with cilia projections; moves substances in one direction.

Study Notes

Epithelial Tissue Types and Functions

  • Squamous epithelium is found on the inner surface of the mouth, oesophagus, and blood vessels.
  • Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium forms the outer layer of the skin.
  • Columnar epithelium is found in the structure of the oesophagus.
  • Ciliated columnar epithelium is responsible for pushing mucus and air forward to keep the air passage free.

Cuboidal Epithelium

  • Cuboidal epithelium is involved in reabsorption of useful materials from urine in the kidney.
  • Cuboidal epithelium is involved in secretion of saliva in the salivary gland.

Stratified Epithelium

  • Stratified epithelium provides protection against mechanical stress and abrasion.
