Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue Location and Function
- Simple squamous epithelium is found in capillaries, alveoli, and kidney glomeruli.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is located in the nasal mucosa, trachea, and bronchi.
- Transitional epithelia or urothelium is found in the urinary tract, including the bladder, ureters, and urethra.
- Simple columnar epithelium functions in absorption and secretion in the digestive tract, such as in the stomach and intestines.
- Keratinised epithelium is found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is also found in the respiratory tract, including the nasal mucosa, trachea, and bronchi.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is located in the kidney tubules, pancreatic ducts, and glands.
- Transitional epithelia or urothelium functions in stretching to accommodate the expansion of the urinary tract.
- Keratinised epithelium is found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.
- Stratified squamous epithelium is located in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, as well as in the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
