Table of Epithelium of the Human Organs

This table provides an overview of the different types of epithelium found in various human organs.

Types of Epithelium in Human Organs

Organ	Epithelial Type	Description
Skin	Stratified Squamous Epithelium	The outermost layer of the skin is composed of stratified squamous epithelium, which provides protection against external factors.
Lungs	Simple Squamous Epithelium	The alveoli in the lungs are lined with simple squamous epithelium, allowing for efficient gas exchange.
Stomach	Simple Columnar Epithelium	The inner lining of the stomach is made up of simple columnar epithelium, which secretes digestive enzymes and absorbs nutrients.
Intestines	Simple Columnar Epithelium	The intestines also have a lining of simple columnar epithelium, responsible for nutrient absorption.
Kidneys	Cuboidal Epithelium	The tubules in the kidneys are lined with cuboidal epithelium, involved in the filtration and reabsorption of waste products.
Liver	Cuboidal Epithelium	The liver contains cuboidal epithelium in the bile ducts, which transport bile to the gallbladder.
Bladder	Transitional Epithelium	The inner lining of the bladder is composed of transitional epithelium, allowing for stretching and expansion.
