| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Simple Columnar Epithelium | Forms lining of stomach and intestines. Also elongated cells with elongated nuclei located near basement membrane. |
| Simple Cuboidal Epithelium | Lines kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands |
| Simple squamous Epithelium | Single layer of flattened cells and forms walls of capillaries and air sacs of lungs. |
| Pseudo-stratified columnar Epithelium | Commonly possesses cilia that move dust and mucus out of the respiratory airways. Nuclei located at different levels within a single row of aligned cells. Appear layered (stratified) but are a single layer of cells. (Simple) |
| Stratified Squamous Epithelium | Deeper cells cuboidal, or columnar; older cells flattened nearest the free surface. Forms lining of oral cavity, esophagus, anal canal, and vagina. |
| Transitional Epithelium | Consists of several layers of cells, allowing an expandable lining and forms inner lining of urinary bladder. |
