Table of Epithelia of Human Organs[edit | edit source]
This is a table listing the different types of epithelia found in various human organs.
Explanation of Epithelial Types[edit | edit source]
Here is a brief explanation of the different types of epithelia mentioned in the table:
- Stratified squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium is found in the skin and consists of multiple layers of flat cells. It provides protection against mechanical stress and forms a barrier against pathogens.
- Simple squamous epithelium: This thin, single-layered epithelium is found in the lungs and facilitates the exchange of gases between the air and blood.
- Simple columnar epithelium: This tall, single-layered epithelium lines the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and gallbladder. It is involved in absorption, secretion, and protection.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium: This cube-shaped, single-layered epithelium is found in the kidneys, liver, and pancreas. It is involved in secretion and absorption.
- Transitional epithelium: This specialized epithelium lines the bladder and allows for stretching and expansion.
