Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue Types
- The trachea has pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, which helps to remove mucus and debris from the airway.
Epithelial Tissue in Organs
- The urinary bladder has transitional epithelium, allowing it to stretch and expand to store urine.
Esophagus Epithelium
- The esophagus has stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium, protecting it from abrasion and friction during swallowing.
Kidney's Epithelial Tissue
- The Bowman's capsule in the kidney has simple squamous epithelium, allowing for filtration of blood and waste removal.
Skin Epithelium
- Thick skin has stratified squamous keratinized epithelium, providing a protective barrier against external factors.
Glandular Epithelium
- The mammary gland has apocrine glandular epithelium, responsible for milk production and secretion during lactation.
