Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body and are responsible for: covering all body surfaces.body surfaces lining body cavities and hollow organs. form the major tissues in glands. perform a variety of functions including: Absorption Filtration Excretion Secretion Diffusion Protection Main Menu
The 3 main categories of epithelium areThe 3 main categories of epithelium are: –Squamous (squashed or flattened). –Cuboidal (cube-shaped) –Columnar (rectangular) Main Menu

Locations : Capillary walls, alveoli of the lungs, covering visceral organs, lining body cavities Function: diffusion and filtration Main Menu
Locations : Integument (Skin), mouth, vagina, anus. Function: protection. Main Menu
Locations : Ureter, urinary bladder. Function: distention and elasticity. Main Menu
Locations : lining of the digestive tract. –Small intestine –Large intestine –Rectum Function: Protection, secretion, absorption. Main Menu
Locations : lining of the respiratory tract. –trachea –Nasal passageway –Bronchi of lungs Function: move pollutants to the mouth where they are swallowed. –Filtration. Main Menu

NOTE: This type of epithelium is often confused with stratified columnar epithelium due to the arrangement of the nuclei. Free Surface Basement Membrane Main Menu
Locations : largest ducts of the salivary glands. –Submandibular gland (lower jaw) –Parotid gland (side of face) –Mucosal glands (amylase-releasing) Function: passageway for digestive enzymes released by salivary glands. Main Menu
Locations : lining kidney tubules, salivary ducts and pancreatic ducts (pancreas). Function: secretion, excretion and absorption. Main Menu
Location : sweat ducts in the dermis layer of the skin. Appearance : generally 3-4 layers thick. Function: secretion of and transportation of sweat to the skin’s surface. Main Menu
