Tissuea group of cells performing a specialized structural or functional role.
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervousName the four major types of tissue found in the human body.
Simple squamous epitheliumFound in the walls of capillaries; it functions to allow the exchange of oxygen and waste products between the blood and the cells.
Simple cuboidal epitheliumFound in kidney tubules; it functions
Simple columnar epitheliumFound in the intestinal tract; it functions in secretion of digestive fluids and absorption of nutrient molecules.
Psuedostratified columnar epitheliumFound in the passages of the respiratory system; the ciliated free surface moves the mucous produced by goblet cells up the respiratory
Stratified squamous epitheliumForming the outer layer of the skin (epidermis); it becomes hardened with keratin and makes a tough, dry, protective covering.
Stratified cuboidal epitheliumFound in the larger ducts of salivary glands; it provides extra protection.
Stratified columnar epitheliumFound in the male urethra; the goblet cells provide mucous for lubrication.
Transitional epitheliumForming the inner lining of the urinary bladder; because of its stretchable nature, it forms a barrier that prevents the contents of the urinary tract from diffusing back into the body fluids.
Glandular epitheliumcomposed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances into ducts or into body fluids
Exocrinetype of glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto an internal or external surface.
Endocrinetype of glands that secrete directly into tissue fluid or blood.
mucusthick liquid rich in glycoprotein
Glandcomposed of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances. Most commonly these cells are columnar or cuboidal epithelium.
