| simple squamous epithelium | contains a single layer of flat cells; found in the body where filtration (kidney) or diffusion (lungs) are priority processes |
| keratinized stratified squamous epithelium | found in the superficial part of skin, provides protection from heat, microbes, and chemicals |
| simple cuboidal epithelium | contains cube-shaped cells functioning in secretion and absorption |
| ciliated simple columnar epithelium | lines the upper respiratory tract and uterine tubes, wavelike motion of cilia propels materials through the lumen |
| nonciliated simple columnar epithelium | contains cells with microvilli and goblet cells;found in linings of the digestive, reproductive, and urinary tracts |
| transitional epithelium | found in the urinary bladder, contains cells that can change shape |
| pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium | contains cells that are all attached to the basement membrane, although some do not reach the surface; those cells that do extend to the surface secrete mucus or contain cilia |

| liver | produces bile |
| gallbladder | stores, concentrates, and delivers bile into the duodenum via the common bile duct |
| mucosa | secretes mucus. absorption |
