single layer of tall cells that fit closely together
simple columnar epithelium
epithelial membranes that line body cavities open to the body exterior
mucosae or mucous membranes
structureless material secreted by cells
basement membrane
most concerned with absoroption secretion and filtration

rest on a basement membrane
some cells are shorter than others
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
consists of several layers and most common stratified epithelium in the body
stratified columnar epithelium
