Epithelial Tissues
  1. Simple
    1. Simple squamous epithelium
      1. 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
        1. rapid diffusion, osmosis and filtration
        2. Simple cuboidal epithelium
          1. Common in glands and their ducts, Forms walls of kidney tubules, Covers the ovaries
            1. secretion and absorption, cilliated types propel mucus or reproductive cells
            2. Simple columnar epithelium
              1. Lines the digestive tract
                1. secretion and absorption
                2. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
                  1. cilated - upper respiratory tract non-ciliated – sperm carrying ducts, ducts of large glands
                    1. absorption or secretion (particularly of mucus)
                  2. Stratified
                    1. Stratified squamous epithelium
                      1. Keratinized –superficial layers of the skin Non-keratinized – lining mouth, esophagus and vagina
                        1. a protective covering where friction is common
                        2. Stratified cudoidal epithelia
                          1. pharynx, sweat glands, mammary glands and part of the ♂ urethra
                            1. Protection
                            2. Stratified columnar epithelia
                              1. Small amounts in pharynx, male urethra, and lining some glandular ducts
                                1. Protection and secretion
                                2. Stratified transitional epithelium
                                  1. urinary system
                                    1. allow hollow structures (e.g. urinary bladder) to expand without causing damage to tissues
