Transitional Epithelium - Location: Urinary Tract - Function: Permits expansion and recoil after stretching |
|
|
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED CILIATED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM -Location: Lining of nasal cavity, trachea and bronchi -Function: Protection, Secretion |
|
|
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM -Location: mesothelia lining ventral body cavities,endothelia lining heart and blood vessels -Function: Reduces friction, controls vessel permeability, absorption and secretion. |
|
|
Stratified Squamous -Location: surface of skin, lining of mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, vagina -Function: Provides physical protection against abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attack. |
|
|
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium -Location: Glands, ducts, portions of kidney tubules, thyroid gland -Functions: Limited protection, secretion and absorption |
|
|
Stratified Cuboidal -Location: Lining of some ducts (is rare) -Functions: Protection, secretion and absorption |
|
|
Simple Columnar -Location: lining of stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and uterine tubes. -Function: Protection, secretion and absorption |
|
|
Stratified Columnar -Location: small areas of pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary gland, salivary gland duct, and urethra Function: Protection (thicker) |
|
|
Reticular Loose Connective Tissue Location: Liver, Kidney, Spleen, Lymph Nodes, and bone marrow Function: Provides supporting framework |
|
|
Adipose Loose Connective Tissue Location: Deep to the skin, especially at sides, buttocks, breasts, padding around eyes and kidneys - Function: Provides padding, and cushions shock, insulates, and stores energy |
|
|
