Research on what epithelial tissues found in following:

1. Lungs
 Most of the respiratory passageways, from the nasal cavity through the bronchi, are
lined by ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells.

 Bronchioles are lined by simple cuboidal epithelium.

 Lung alveoli, in contrast, are lined by very thin simple squamous epithelium.

2. Adrenal Glands
The adrenal cortex is made up of layers of epithelial cells and associated capillary networks.
These layers form three distinct regions: an outer zona glomerulosa that produces
mineralocorticoids, a middle zona fasciculata that produces glucocorticoids, and an inner
zona reticularis that produces androgens. Grandular epithelium, columnar epithelium with
goblet cell.
3. Testis
Spermatozoa pass via the tubuli recti (low columnar epithelium) and the rete testis
(flattened or cuboidal epithelium) into numerous ductuli efferentes, which are lined by a
columnar epithelium, which consists of both absorptive and ciliated cells. ... These cells
regenerate the epithelium.

4. Ovary
The ovarian surface epithelium, also called the germinal epithelium of Waldeyer, is a layer of
simple squamous-to-cuboidal epithelial cells covering the ovary. The term germinal
epithelium is a misnomer as it does not give rise to primary follicles.

5. Kidney
 Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in glandular tissue and in the kidney tubules.
  Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach and intestines.

 Pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines portions of the respiratory tract and

some of the tubes of the male reproductive tract.

6. Appendix
The mucosa of the appendix, colon, and rectum has a simple columnar epithelium shaped
into straight tubular crypts.

7. Pancreas
The smaller forms have a cuboidal epithelium, while a columnar epithelium lines the larger
ducts. Intralobular ducts transmit secretions from intralobular ducts to the major pancreatic
duct. The main pancreatic duct received secretion from interlobular ducts and penetrates
through the wall of the duodenum.
8. Small Intestine
The mucosa of the small intestine is lined by a simple columnar epithelium which consists
primarily of absorptive cells (enterocytes), with scattered goblet cells and occasional
enteroendocrine cells.

9. Liver
The liver contains two types of epithelial cells, namely, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes.
They split from hepatoblasts (embryonic liver stem cells) in mid-gestation and differentiate
into structurally and functionally mature cells. It will be made of simple cuboidal epithelium
(arrow). Bile ducts (bd) collect bile from the liver lobules and take it out of the liver.

10. Fallopian Tube

The fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) is another accepted origin of ovarian cancer and is a
layer of pseudostratified epithelial cells derived from the Müllerian duct.
