muscular - muscles

nervous - nerves

endocrine - hormones

cardiovascular - heart

lymphatic - immune system

respiratory - lungs

digestive - stomach

urinary - bladder

reproductive - offspring

Front

simple squamous

Back

allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae

found in capillaries (blood vessels), air sacs of lungs, and lymphatic vessels

Front

simple cuboidal

Back

secretion and absorption

found in kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface

Front

simple columnar

Back

absorption; secretion of mucus

found in nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract, gallbladder; ciliated variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus

Front

pseudostratified columnar

Back

secretes mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary action

found in ciliated type lines the trachea and most of the upper respiratory tract; nonciliated type in male's sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands

Front

stratified squamous

Back

protects underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion

found in nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina; keratinized type forms the epidermis of the skin

Front

transitional epithelium

Back

stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ by contained urine

found in lines the ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra

Front

stratified cuboidal

Back

protection

found in largest ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands

Front

stratified columnar

Back

protection and secretion

rare in the body; small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands

Front

what is anatomy

Back

the study of structure

subdivisions: gross or macroscopic, microscopic, developmental
