Functions Of Epithelia
Protection: Convering epithelium specially
of skin oral cavity and esphagus protect
underline structures.

Secretion: Goblet cells and Gastric mucosal
surface and othres do the function of secretion.

Absorption: In kidney and small intestine
selective things are absorbed.

Filtration: Urine, sweat and carbon dioxide
are examples.

Excretion: Certain epithelial cells do this from
the blood those waste products which are carried
in the blood. Urine and sweat and carbon dioxide
are examples of this also.

Classification Of Epithelium
simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous 400x PA021955md lbd
Bone
Function:diffusion,filtration,secretion and
some protection against friction

location:alveoli of lungs,linig of blood
vessels,inner surface of the eardrum

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

functions:active transport and facilitated
diffusion result in secretion and absorption
by cells of the kidney tubules.

Transitional Epithelium

Function:protection,fluctuation

Trans.epi
In epithelium or tissues,there is a secretory
structure that is called "glands".
glands are responsible for secretion of anti bodies,
mucous,and dead cells.
