- - - - Columnar Epithelium
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and protects
        
        Structure
        
        Multiple layers of column shaped cells
        
        Location
        
        The male urethra and the ducts of some glands
        
        Example
        
        Eyes, anus, uterus
      - Stratified Squamous
        
        Function
        
        Protects against abrasion
        
        Structure
        
        Cells are arranged in layers upon a basal membrane
        
        Location
        
        Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
        
        Example
        
        Skin, palm of the hand, foot
      - Cuboidal Epithelium
        
        Function
        
        Protective tissue
        
        Structure
        
        Multiple layers of cube shaped cells
        
        Location
        
        Sweat glands, salivary glands, and the mammary glands
        
        Examples
        
        Sweat glands, parotid gland
    - - Squamous Epithelium
        
        Function
        
        Allows materials to pass trough by diffusion, and secretes lubricating substance
        
        Structure
        
        :
        
        Location
        
        Air sacs of lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels
        
        Examples
        
        skin, capillary walls, glomeruli
      - Cuboidal Epithelium
        
        Function
        
        Secretes and absorbs
        
        Structure
        
        Single layer of cuboidal cells that are shaped like cubes
        
        Location
        
        In ducts and secretory portions of small glands in kidney tubules
        
        Examples
        
        Organs, glands in the body, kidney tubules
      - Columnar Epithelium
        
        Function
        
        Absorbs and secretes mucous and enzymes
        
        Structure
        
        Single layer of cells that are tall and wide
        
        Location
        
        Ciliated tissues are in bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus
        
        Examples
        
        Stomach, small and large intestine, and rectum
    - - Location
        
        Lines the bladder, urethra, and the ureters
      - Structure
        
        Multiple layers of cells of different sizes of length and width
      - Function
        
        Allows the urinary organs to expand and stretch
      - Example
        
        Bladder, ureters, and urethra
    - - Location
        
        Ciliated tissue lines the trachea and much of the upper respiratory tract
      - Structure
        
        Consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and differently sized columnar cells
      - Function
        
        Secretes mucus and ciliated tissue moves mucus
      - Example
        
        Nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi
