Study Notes
Simple Epithelial Tissues
- Simple Epithelial Tissues are composed of a single layer of cells
- Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue:
- Contains flat, scale-like cells
- Features a visible nucleus
- A basement membrane is present
- Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue:
- Contains cube-shaped cells
- Features a visible nucleus
- A basement membrane is present
- Columnar Simple Epithelial Tissue:
- Contains column-shaped cells
- A basement membrane is present
- Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue:
- Contains cell nuclei at different levels, giving the illusion of multiple layers
- Is actually a single layer
- A basement membrane is present
- Pseudostratified Ciliated Simple Epithelial Tissue:
- Similar to Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue
- Contains cilia
- Stratified Epithelial Tissues contain multiple layers of cells.
- Transitional Stratified Epithelial Tissue:
- Shows several layers of cells with the ability to stretch
- Squamous Stratified Epithelial Tissue:
- Contains multiple layers of flattened, scale-shaped cells
