Name the Tissue

Simple Squamous Epithelium
Endothelium lines _____ and _________ vessels.
blood, lymphatic
Mesothelium lines ____ ________.
body cavities
Name the Tissue:
- Location: tubules of kidneys, pancreas, thyroid, small glands, ovary
- Function: secretion, absorption

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
Name the Tissue

- Location: most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gall bladder, ducts of some glands, small bronchi, some parts of the uterus.
- Function: absorption, secretion, propels mucus/reproductive cells.
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Does Simple Columnar Epithelium contain goblet cells?
Yes, it may contain it.

Name the Tissue

-Location: ciliated type
*trachea/most of the upper respiratory tract
non-ciliated type
*sperm carrying ducts/some glands
-Function: secretion of mucus, propulsion of mucus through cilla
Pseudostratisfied Columnar Epithelium
Does Pseudostratisfied Columnar Epithelium contain Cilia & Goblet Cells?
YES!

Name the Tissue

-Location: Non-keratized type:
*skin, mouth, esophagus, vagina.
Keratinized type:
*epidermis of the skin
Function: protection against mechanical stress and abrasion.
Stratisfied Squamous Epithelium
YES OR NO:
Is Stratisfied Squamous Epithelium non-keratinized?
YES!
Name the Tissue

- Location: urinary bladder, ureters, urethra
- Function: streches readily and permits distention.
Transitional Epithelium
Surface is toward a lumen (open space)
Apical
Surfaces are toward other epithelial cells
Lateral
