- Simple
- Simple squamous epithelium
- Lines body cavities (forms part of
serous membranes) ,Lines heart,
blood vessels, and lymphatic
vessels (endothelium) Lines alveoli
in the lungs and the glomerular
capsule of kidneys
- rapid diffusion, osmosis and
filtration
- Simple cuboidal epithelium
- Common in glands
and their ducts, Forms
walls of kidney
tubules, Covers the
ovaries
- secretion and absorption,
cilliated types propel mucus
or reproductive cells
- Simple columnar epithelium
- Lines the digestive
tract
- secretion and absorption
- Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
- cilated - upper respiratory tract
non-ciliated – sperm carrying ducts,
ducts of large glands
- absorption or secretion
(particularly of mucus)
- Stratified
- Stratified squamous epithelium
- Keratinized –superficial layers of
the skin Non-keratinized – lining
mouth, esophagus and vagina
- a protective covering where friction
is common
- Stratified cudoidal epithelia
- pharynx, sweat glands,
mammary glands and part of
the ♂ urethra
- Protection
- Stratified columnar epithelia
- Small amounts in pharynx, male urethra, and
lining some glandular ducts
- Protection and secretion
- Stratified transitional epithelium
- urinary system
- allow hollow structures (e.g. urinary
bladder) to expand without causing
damage to tissues
