A&P CHPATER 4 TISSUE TYPES

the heart pt.5-kendrick lamar

simple squamous epithelium

A single layer of squamous epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; found in locations such as the alveoli of the lungs, the kidneys, and lining the inner surface of blood vessels

Simple cuboidal epithelium

A single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; found in locations such as the kidney tubules, many endocrine glands, and the ducts of many exocrine glands.

simple columnar epithelium

A single layer of columnar epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; found in locations such as lining the digestive tract and many other hollow organs.

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

A single layer of columnar epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; the nuclei of the cells are uneven, giving the tissue the appearance of being stratified; found in locations such as the lining of the nasal cavity and much of the respiratory tract.

stratified squamous epithelium

Several layers of squamous epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; located in the oral cavity and esophagus, the anus, and vagina(non keratinized);located on the outer layer of our skin (keratinized)

stratified cuboidal epithelium

Several layers of cuboidal epithelial cells and the underlying basal lamina; lines the ducts of certain exocrine glands.

stratified columnar epithelium

multiple layers of cells that are columnar in the apical layers and cuboidal in the basal layers. It makes up the ducts of certain glands, including salivary glands, as well as parts of the male urethra and the conjunctiva
