Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Function: Simple Squamos | allows passage of materials by diffusion abd filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae |
| Location: Simple Squamos | kidney glomeruli, air scas of lungs, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity (serosae) |
| Function: Simple Cuboidal | secretion and absorption |
| Location: Simple Cuboidal | kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface. |
| Function: Simple Columnar | absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances; ciliated type propels mucus or reproductive cells by cilliary action |
| Location: Simple Columnar | nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to anal canal), gallbladder, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus. |
| Function: Psuedostratified Columnar | secretion, particularly of mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action |
| Location: Psuedostratified Columnar | nonciliated type in male's sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands; ciliated variety lines the trachea. most of the upper respiratory tract |
| Function: Stratified Squamos | protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion |
| Location: Stratified Squamos | Nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the vagina, esophagus, and mouth; keratinzed variety forms the dry membrane |
| Function: Stratified Cuboidal | protection |
| Location: Stratified Cuboidal | largest ducta of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands |
| Function: Stratified Columnar | protection; secretion |
| Location: Stratified Columnar | Rare in the body; small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands. |
| Function: Transitional | stretches readily |
| Location: Transitional | Lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra |
