EPITHELIAL TISSUE (EPITHELIUM)
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium) Lining, covering and glandular tissue of the body
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium) Examples: Skin protects against bacteria/chemicals Lining of the respiratory tract-cilia to sweep mucus Kidney-epithelium absorbs and filters Secretion-glands
Epithelial tissue (Epithelium)
Forms membranes for filtration/exchange
Glands/Ducts Salivary Glands Ducts in Pancreas Kidney tubules Surface of ovaries
Line digestive tract Goblet cells: produce mucus
Some cells are shorter than others Absorption and secretion Ciliated variety lines the respiratory tract Goblet cells make mucus Cilia move mucus
Pseudostratified (ciliated) columnar
Several layers of cells Can stand friction: Esophagus Mouth skin
Cells at base are cuboidal or columnar, free surface varies Tissue can stretch Lines the: Urinary bladder Ureters Part of urethra
