Single layer of flat, disc-shaped cells with sparse cytoplasm and central nuclei. Function: diffusion and filtration. Locations: lung air sacs, kidney glomerulus, blood and lymphatic vessels.
Multiple layers of cells; basal cells are cuboidal or columnar, apical cells are flat. Function: protection. Locations: esophagus, vagina, and epidermis of skin.
Single layer of cube-shaped cells with large, spherical central nuclei. Functions in secretion and absorption. Found in kidney tubules, ducts of glands, and ovary surface.
Multiple layers (usually 2) of cube-shaped cells. Functions mainly in secretion. Location: sweat glands and female mammary glands.
Single layer of tall cells with round or oval nuclei, often containing goblet cells. Functions in absorption and secretion. Found in most of the digestive tract including stomach and intestines.
Multiple layers of columnar cells. Rare, found in small amounts in pharynx, male urethra, and some glandular ducts.
Lines ureters, bladder, and part of the urethra. Resembles stratified squamous but stretches to accommodate volume changes.
Single layer of cells of varying heights with nuclei at different levels, giving a stratified appearance. Contains cilia and goblet cells. Found in upper respiratory tract like trachea and nasal cavity.
Similar to ciliated type but without cilia. Found in males’ sperm-carrying ducts.
Allows diffusion and filtration due to thin, flat cells.
Provides protection against abrasion and pathogens.
Secretion and absorption in glands and kidney tubules.
Secretion in sweat and mammary glands.
Absorption and secretion, often with mucus secretion by goblet cells.
Air sacs of lungs, kidney glomerulus, lining of blood and lymphatic vessels.
Esophagus, vagina, epidermis of skin.
Kidney tubules, ducts of glands, ovary surface.
Sweat glands, female mammary glands.
Most of the digestive tract including stomach and intestines.
Ureters, urinary bladder, part of urethra.
