Epithelial Tissue

        Help!  

Question
Answer
How to name epithelial tissue   When investigating epithelia, locate the apical and basal surfaces: - The cell type at the apical surface names the epithelium - The number of layers between the apical and basal surfaces names the epithelium  
🗑
Simple Squamous Function   allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae  
🗑
Simple Squamous Location   Kidney glomeruli; air sacs of the lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae)  
🗑
simple cuboidal function   secretion and absorption  
🗑
Simple cuboidal location   Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface  
🗑
Simple Columnar function   absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliary action  
🗑
Simple Columnar Location   Nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus  
🗑
pseudostratified columnar function   secrete substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action  
🗑
Pseudostratified columnar location   nonciliated type in male's sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the upper respiratory tract  
🗑
Stratified squamous function   protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion  
🗑
Stratified squamous location   nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry membrane  
🗑
Stratified cuboidal function   Protection  
🗑
Stratified cuboidal location   Largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands  
🗑
transitional epithelium function   stretches readily, permits stored urine to distend urinary organ.  
🗑
transitional epithelium location   lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra  
🗑
Stratified columnar function   protection  
🗑
Stratified Columnar locations   male urethra, pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary glands, salivary glands  
🗑
