🗑
Transitional Epithelium   Multiple layers of cells tha permit expansion and recoil after stretching. Located in bladder.  
🗑
Simple Columnar Epithelium   Nuclei elongated, have microvilli, line stomach, intestines and tubes. Protection, secretion,absorption  
🗑
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium   Appears layered, but all attached to basal lamina, shapes of nuclei vary, have cillia at top, located in resporatory track, trachea, bronchi, parts of male reproductive tract
