Study Notes
Simple Squamous Epithelium
- Composed of flat, elongated cells with a round to oval nucleus, often centrally located.
Locations
- Lines body cavities, known as mesothelium, including: • Pleural cavity • Pericardial cavity • Peritoneal cavity
- Found in alveolar walls in lungs
- Forms the inner lining of: • Blood vessels • Lymphatic vessels, known as endothelium
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
- Cells have a cuboidal shape, with all sides being approximately the same size.
- Cell limits are often well-defined.
- Found in lining ducts of many glands.
- Present in the choroid plexus in the brain.
- Lines follicles of the thyroid gland.
- Found in the lens of the eye.
