Study Notes
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Functions in filtration and diffusion.
- Found in renal tubules of the human kidney.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Primarily facilitates diffusion processes.
- Located in the media layer of arteries.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
- Involved in absorption and secretion.
- Predominantly present in the human duodenum.
Pseudostratified Ciliated Epithelium
- Functions in secretion and movement of mucus via cilia.
- Commonly found in the human trachea.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium (Non-Keratinized)
- Provides protection against abrasion.
- Located in the esophagus.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium (Keratinized)
- Serves as a protective barrier.
- Found in the skin of the human palm.
Transitional Epithelium
- Specialized for distention.
- Found in the urinary bladder.
