simple columnar epithelium
high volume secretion; found in digestive tube; makes exocrine glands
stratified squamous
top layer is flat but other layers may not be; can be keratinized or not; covers surfaces needing protection; cells bound tightly together
simple squamous
found in alveoli of lungs; lining of blood vessels (endothelium); lines body cavities' is osmosis & diffusion
stratified cuboidal epithelium
found in sweat & salivary glands
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
must be kept moist by bodily secretions to prevent drying out; found in cornea, oral cavity, vagina, rectum, esophogus
glandular epithelium
made up of cells that produce secretions classified as endocrine or exocrine; number of gland cells & nature of secretion; example is columnar epithelium with goblet cells
stratified columnar epithelium
rare epithelium found in large duct of salivary gland; found in between stratified squamous and pseudostratified
endocrine gland
cells that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream
multicellular glands
have many cells that may form a secretory sheet of epithelium in the linings of stomach & uterus
simple cuboidal epithelium
fx: ion pumping; absorption, secretion, protection; found in ovaries, thyroid gland, kidney tubules;
stratified layer
2 or more cell layers, only the deepest layer touches the basement membrane
squamous shape
flat, irregular-shaped cells
keratinised stratified squamous
kept moist by keratin; found in skin, tongue & external portion of lips
epithelial tissue
sheets of cells covering exposed surfaces, line body cavities, ducts, vessels
unicellular glands
type of gland; example: mucus secreting goblet cells; found in epithelium of respiratory & intestinal tract
columnar epithelium
tall, thin cells; taller than is wide; grouped by nonciliated & ciliated
cellularity
cells closely bound to each other by cell junctions making a wide sheet
mucous glands
most are multicellular with exception to unicellular goblet cells
pseudostratified
1 cell layer but appears to be multiple due to irregular shape
serous glands
cell type that produce a thin, watery protein rich secretion; found in all cavity linings of pericardial, pleural & pericardial
