Study Notes
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Composed of a single layer of flat cells
- Functions in diffusion and filtration
- Found in areas such as alveoli of lungs and lining of blood vessels
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Made up of a single layer of cube-shaped cells
- Primarily involved in secretion and absorption
- Commonly located in kidney tubules and glandular ducts
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Consists of a single layer of tall, column-like cells
- Functions in absorption and secretion of mucus
- Present in digestive tract lining, such as the stomach and intestines
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- Composed of multiple layers of cells, with the outermost being flat
- Provides protection against abrasion and pathogens
- Found in skin, mouth, and esophagus
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Contains multiple layers of cube-shaped cells
- Less common than other types, mainly involved in secretion
- Located in larger ducts of glands, like sweat and salivary glands
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
- Made of multiple layers of cells, with surface cells being columnar
- Functions primarily in protection and secretion
- Found in segments of the male urethra and in some gland ducts
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
- Appears to be stratified due to varying cell heights but is actually a single layer
- Often ciliated, plays a role in trapping and moving particles out of airways
- Commonly found in the respiratory tract
Stratified Transitional Epithelium
- Characterized by multiple layers of cells that can stretch
- Provides flexibility and protection; allows organs like the bladder to expand and contract
- Found in the urinary bladder and parts of the ureters
