Shapes Epithelial Tissue
squamous; cuboidal; columnar; transitional
Squamous Epithelial Tissue
Flat or Scale Like , upper layer of the epidermis;
Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
cube-shaped cells, one layer thick
Columnar Epithelial Tissue
column shaped cells used for protection and in some cases production of muscus
Transitional Epithelial Tissue
stretchy & variably shaped . lines the uterus bladder, part of the urethra.
Tissues
A collection of similarly specialized cells that work together to perform specific
functions.
4 Major Tissues
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
tissue that covers the surface of the body and lines body cavities and forms glands
Functions of Epithelial Tissue
, 2
protection, absorption, filtration, secretion
Layers of Epithelial Tissue
Simple, stratified, pseudostratified
Simple Epithelial Tissue
single layer of cells, all of which are in contact with the basement membrane
Stratified Epithelial Tissue
composed of two or more layers
Pseudostratified Epithelial Tissue
Contains one layer of epithelial cells, but appears to have more than one
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue
found where substances move by Rapid Diffusion, Osmosis, or Filtration
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue (locations)
lines the inside of Arteries & Veins (endothelium)
lines the inside of the Heart (endocardium)
Capillaries - Alveoli of the Lungs - Kidney
Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue (locations)
Lines most of the Digestive Tract and Plays a major Role in Absorption,Secretion of
Digestion Enzymes and Protection
Pseudostratified Epithelial Tissue
Lines Most of the Respiratory Tract & Fallopian Tubes - Often ciliated
Stratified Squamous Epithelial Tissue
performs a protection functions and found and are found in tissue exposed to the
outside. Lines the esophagus , mouth (non-keartinized), and skin (keartinized)
called the epidermis.
