17
Q

Where is a simple epithelium found

A

found in areas where stress is minimal and diffusion, filtration, absorption, or secretion is the primary function
( internal lining of the air sacs in the lungs , intestines and blood vessels )

18
Q

skin, the internal lining of the esophagus, pharynx, or vagina

A

Stratified epithelium

19
Q

The simple squamous epithelium that lines the lumen of the blood and lymphatic vessels and the heart and its chambers

A

Endothelium

20
Q

Nonciliated simple columnar epithelium often contains microvilli and a scattering of unicellular glands called

A

Goblet cells

21
Q

Tiny , ctyoplasmic projections on the apical surface of the cell that increases that surface area for secretion and absorption

A

Microvilli

22
Q

What do goblet cells secrete

A

Mucin

23
Q

where does nonciliated simple columnar epithelium line

A

Most of the digestive tracts from the stomach to the anal canal

24
Q

where does pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium line

A

large portions of the respiratory tract , nasal cavity , part of the throat , voice box, trachea , bronchi
