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.
