Where are simple squamous epithelium found?

Air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels

What is the function of simple squamous epithelium?

Allows materials to pass through by diffusion and filtration, and secretes lubricating substances

What is the location of simple cuboidal epithelium?

In ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules

What is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium

Secretes and absorbs

What is the location of simple columnar epithelium

Ciliated tissues are in larger bronchioles, uterine tubes, and uterus; smooth(nonciliated tissues) are in he digestive tract, bladder

Function of simple columnar epithelium

Absorbs; also secretes mucus and enzymes

location of Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Ciliated tissue lines the bronchi, trachea, and much of the upper respiratory tract

function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Secretes mucus; ciliated tissue moves mucus

Location of stratified squamous epithelium

Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina

Function of stratified squamous epithelium
