Study Notes
Epithelium Types
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Comprises 2-3 layers of cuboidal cells, making it a relatively thin tissue
- Rarely found in the body
- Lines the excretory ducts of glands, such as salivary and sweat glands
Transitional Epithelium
- Characterized by surface cells that are large, cuboidal, and have a convex, dome-shaped surface
- Some cells can be binucleated, containing two nuclei
- Found in the urinary system, spanning from the renal pelvis to the urethra
