*Thele “_____”
secreted partly by epithetlial cells and partly by the cells of underlying tissues
Flat
Cubelike
Location: lining of blood vessels of heart, lymphatic vessels, alveoli of the lungs, portions of
kidney tubules, lining of serous membranes of body cavities
Function: Movement of particles embedded in mucus out of the terminal bronchioles by ciliated
cells
Function: movement of particles out of the bronchioles of the lungs by ciliated cells
Function: partially responsible for the movement of oocytes through the uterine tubules of
ciliated cells
Location: glands and some ducts, bronchioles of the lungs, auditory tubes, uterus, uterine tubes,
stomach, intestines, gallbladder, bile ducts and ventricles of the brain
Some cells are tall and thin and reach the free surface, and others do not
Cells are almost always ciliated and are associated with goblet cells that secrete mucus
Some cells are tall and thin and reach the free surface, and others do not
Cells are almost always ciliated and are associated with goblet cells that secrete mucus
Location: Lining of nasal cavity, nasal sinuses, auditory tubes, pharynx, trachea and bronchi of
the lungs
Several layers of cells that are cuboidal in the basal layer and progressively flattened toward the
surface
Function: protects against abrasion, forms a barrier against infection and reduces water loss
from the body
Location: keratinized – outer layer of the skin
Location: non-keratinized – mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, anus, vagina, inferior urethra and
corneas
Stratified cells that appear cuboidal when the organ or tube is not stretched and squamous
when the organ or tube is stretched by fluid
It is the epithelium that often lines the larger ducts of some glands such us major salivary
Glands.
Consist of atleast two layers of columnar cells although sometimes the cells of the deeper layer
are cuboidal
Most epithelial cells exhibit modifications on their apical(superficial), lateral and/or basal
surface that are necessary for the discharge of their specific functions.
Has short and fine fingerlike extensions or processes of plasma membrane that protrude from
the apical surfaces of the cells
Are not individually distinguishable under the LM, but in cell where they are particularly
numerous such as those that line the small intestine
They form a fuzzy, fine certical line on the surface of the epithelium called _____
The core (Axoneme) of cilium consist of microtubules that run parallel to its long axis.
In human, only one cell type possesses a flagellum,The ______. Its has only one flagellium
which is otherwise called Tail
Are characteristic of the epithelial cells that line the ductus (Vas) epididymis and ductus
deferens, long tubes that help convey sperm cells from the testes to the external environment
Also present on the hair cells of the inner ear where they play a role in auditory and vestibular
perception
