18
Q

Simple squamous epithelium

A

Located in areas of little wear and tear and adapted for diffusion and filtration, eg, inner lining of heart chambers

19
Q

Simple cuboidal epithelium

A

Adapted for secretion and absorption eg, kidney tubules and small ducts

20
Q

Simple columnar epithelium

A

Some areas have cilia to move material past cells (upper respiratory passages)
Some have microvilli to increase surface area and efficiency of absorption (small intestine)

21
Q

Stratified squamous epithelium

A

Provides protection to areas of much wear and tear eg, outer layer of skin

22
Q

Stratified cuboidal epithelium

A

Provides protection eg, ducts of sweat glands

23
Q

Stratified columnar epithelium

A

Functions in protection and secretion eg large ducts of some glands

24
Q

Transitional epithelium

A

Contains cells that undergo changes in shape and locate sin areas of stretching eg, urinary bladder

25
Q

Pseudo stratified columnar epithelium

A

Functions in secretion or movement of materials by ciliary action eg, Fallopian tubes

26
Q

Glandular epithelium

A

Specialised cells organised to form glands that secrete substances either into ducts, onto surfaces or directly into blood

27
Q

Anatomical position

A

A standard position that ensures directional terms are clear

28
Q

Anatomical position - position

A

Body is erect
Feet flat on floor
Upper limbs at side

A

Terms given to specific regions of body

33
Q

Regional names - types

A
