BIO 151 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Stratified Squamous Epithelium, Elastic Cartilage, Urethra
Document Summary
Location: air sac (alveoli) of lungs; walls of capillaries; linings of blood vessels and ventral body cavity. Location: surface of ovaries; linings of kidney tubules; linings of ducts of certain glands: simple cuboidal epithelium. Description: single layer; cube-shaped cells: simple columnar epithelium. Description: single layer; elongated narrow cells; some ciliated: pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Description: single layer; elongated cells; some cells do not reach free surface; often. Location: linings of uterus, stomach, gallbladder and intestines ciliated. Function: protection; secretion; movement of mucus and substances. Location: linings of oral cavity, esophagus, vagina and anal canal: stratified squamous epithelium (nonkeratinized) Description: many layers; surface cells flattened and remain alive: stratified squamous epithelium (keratinized) Description: many layers; surface cells dead and keratinized: stratified cuboidal epithelium. Description; 2 to 3 layers; cube-shaped cells. Location: linings of larger ducts of mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas: stratified columnar epithelium. Description: superficial layer of elongated cells; basal layers of cube-shaped cells: transitional epithelium.
