New cards

simple squamous

single layer of cells that lines the blood vessels, alveoli, and lining of body cavities; they help with diffusion, filtration, secretion, and absorption

New cards

simple cuboidal

single layer of cells that are in the kidney tubules, glands or gland ducts; they diffuse molecules and transport secretions

New cards

simple columnar

single layer of cells that are in the stomach, colon, and the fallopian tubes(with goblets); they secrete mucus and move particles and line and protect the cell
