"Stretchable" tissue, also forms barrier to block diffusion. Usually ciliated (tiny, hair-like projections for sweeping materials along a surface) (Contains goblet cells) (Function: secretion and cilia-aided movement) where is the pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium is found? lining of air passageways like the trachea and tubes of the reproductive system (cilia are tiny hairlike projections that aid in removing gunk out of the airways) transitional epithelium thick, multiple layered cuboidal cells. Simple cuboidal single layer of cube shaped cells (functions in secretion and absorption) Where are simple cuboidal cells found? lining of kidney tubules, ducts of glands, and covering surface of ovaries (cuboidal shaped since ions pass through - not too big and not too small) simple columnar long cells with a single layer (function in secretion and absorption) Where are simple columnar cells found? lining of the digestive tract and uterus (columnar shaped since bigger molecules are found there and it needs a bigger surface area) simple columnar cells have scattered _ to secrete mucus goblet cells simple columnar contain _ to increase surface area microvilli stratified squamous outer layer of skin - multilayered flat cells (functions in protection) (top layer is flattened and worm away) Where are stratified squamous cells found? skin and mouth Why are tattoos permanent? because the ink is injected below the basement membrane pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium appear "stratified" but really a single layer with nuclei at various levels giving the appearance of layered cells.
