columnar
epithelium: greater in height than width
simple
epithelium: single layer
stratified
epithelium: multiple layers
simple squamous
epithelium: singer layer of flat cells; lines inside wall of blood vessels, forms walls
of capillaries and lung air sacs - absorption by diffusion, filtration, osmosis;
secretion
simple cuboidal
epithelium: single layer of cube-shaped cells; forms walls of ducts in skin glands
and kidney tubules - secretion, absorption
epithelial tissue
tissue: cells are avascular (closely packed together, little or no intercellular
material between adjacent cells); major roles include secretion, absorption,
protection, and synthesizing hormones; covers external body surfaces and lines
inner walls of cavities and organs; has basement membrane (attachment) and free
surface (exposed side); classified by shape and layer
, 2
squamous
epithelium: flat
cuboidal
epithelium: cube-shaped
simple columnar
epithelium: single layer of column-shaped cells; lines inside walls of stomach and
intestines - protection, secretion, absorption, moving of mucus w/ cilia
stratified squamous
epithelium: multiple layers of cells, with cells along free edge flattened in shape;
superficial layer of the skin, mouth, and throat (friction) - protection
pseudostratified columnar
epithelium: single layer of irregularly shaped cells that appear multi-layered, often
with cilia; lines inside walls of larynx, trachea, and bronchi - protection
transitional
epithelium: multiple layers of spherical or irregularly shaped cells; lines inside
walls of urinary bladder and ureter - permits stretching
glandular
epithelium: specialized epithelium that manufacture and secrete products
exocrine glands
glands that empty products into ducts. the ducts transport products to the body
surface or into a cavity. (salivary glands, oil glands in skin, sweat glands)
endocrine glands
glands that secrete products into the extracellular space, where the products
diffuse into the bloodstream. (pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands)
connective tissue
