Study Notes
Types of Epithelial Tissue
-
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Composed of a single layer of cube-shaped cells.
- Primarily found in the kidneys, where it functions in secretion and absorption.
-
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
- Consists of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells.
- Located in mammary glands and salivary glands, which are not included in certain lab studies.
-
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Made of a single layer of tall, column-shaped cells.
- Present in the small intestine, playing a vital role in nutrient absorption and secretion of digestive enzymes.
-
Stratified Columnar Epithelium
- Features multiple layers of column-like cells.
- No examples provided for this type in current lab studies.
-
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Composed of a single layer of flat cells.
- Found in the lungs, where it allows for efficient gas exchange.
-
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
- Made up of several layers of cells, which can be flat or scale-like.
- Typically found on surfaces subject to abrasion, such as the tongue and skin, offering protection.
