| Provide a slick, friction-reducing lining in lymphatic and cardiovascular systemsPresent in the kidney glomeruli, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and serosae | Simple Squamous Epithelia |
| Function in secretion and absorptionPresent in kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, and ovary surface | Epithelia: Simple Cuboidal |
| Function in absorption and secretionNonciliated type line digestive tract and gallbladder Ciliated type line small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus | Epithelia: Simple Columnar |
| Function in secretion and propulsion of mucusPresent in the male sperm-carrying ducts (nonciliated) and trachea (ciliated) | Epithelia: Pseudostratified Columnar |
| Stretches to permit the distension of the urinary bladder. Lines the urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra | Epithelia: Transitional |
| Ductless glands that produce hormonesSecretions include amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, and steroids | Endocrine Glands |
| Secrete their products onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities. Examples include mucous, sweat, oil, and salivary glands | EXOCRINE GLANDS |
| products are secreted by exocytosis (e.g., pancreas, sweat, and salivary glands) | Merocrine |
| products are secreted by the rupture of gland cells (e.g., sebaceous glands) | Holocrine |
| have: Mesenchyme as their common tissue of origin | Connective tissues |
| Mesenchyme – embryonic connective tissueGives rise to all other connective tissuesFound in the embryo | Connective Tissue: Embryonic |
| Forms a soft internal skeleton, or stroma, that supports other cell types. Found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and the spleen | Reticular connective tissue |
| Attaches muscles to bone or to other muscles, and bone to bone. Found in tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses | Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Regular |
