Functions of Epithelial Tissue
|
-Protection-Secretion-Absorption-Permit passage of substances (diffusion/filtration)
|
|
Simple Epithelium
|
•One layer of cells, extends from basement membrane to free surface
•Allows diffusion of gases, filtration of blood, secretion, absorption |
|
Stratified Epithelium
|
•More than one layer, includes transitional epithelium
•Protection, particularly against abrasion |
|
Pseudostratified Epithelium
|
Looks stratified, but is actually simple.
|
|
Squamous Epithelium Function
|

|
|
Cuboidal Epithelium Function
|
Absorption and secretion -may produce and secrete mucus
