Epithelial Tissue
EPITHELIAL TISSUE
 Epithelial tissues are thin tissues that cover all the
exposed surfaces of the body.
 Epithelial tissue or epithelium consists of cells arranged
in continuous sheets, in either single or multiple layers.
 The various surfaces of the epithelial cells often differ in
structure and have specialized functions.
Apical surface : epithelial cell faces the body surface.
Apical surface may contain cilia or microvilli
 Lateral surface : epithelial cell faces the adjacent
cells on either side. Lateral surfaces may contain
cell junctions
 Basal surface : epithelial cell is opposite the apical
surface and the basal surfaces of the deepest
of cells adhere to extracellular materials such as
the basement membrane
 Basement membrane : is a thin extracellular
layer that commonly consists of two layers
 Basal Lamina: is closer to – and secreted by
– the epithelial cells. It contains proteins such
as collagen and laminin, as well as
glycoproteins and proteoglycans
 Reticular lamina: is closer to the underlying
connective tissue and contains fibrous
proteins produced by connective tissue cells
called fibroblasts.
 The basement membrane functions as a
of attachment and support for the overlying
epithelial tissue

SIMPLE EPITHELIUM
Simple squamous epithelium:
 Single layer of flat cells
 nucleus is a flattened oval or sphere and is centrally located
nucleus
Location: lines heart, vessels, lymphatic vessels, air sacs of lungs
(endothelium)
 Forms the epithelial layer of serous membranes such as the
peritoneum (mesothelium)
Function: filtration , diffusion, osmosis, and secretion in serous
membranes
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
 Single layer of cube shaped cells;
 Cell nuclei are rounded and centrally located
Location: covers surface of ovary, lines anterior surface
surface of capsule of the lens of the eye, makes up the
secreting portion of some glands such as the thyroid
gland, and the ducts of some glands such as pancreas
Function: secretion and absorption
Simple columnar epithelium
 The cells of the columnar epithelium appear like columns, with
oval nuclei near the base
Nonciliated simple columnar epithelium:
 It contains two types of cells –
 Columnar epithelial cells with microvilli at their apical surface –
microvilli increases the surface area of the plasma membrane
 Increasing the rate of absorption by cells
 Goblet cells – secrete mucus serves as a lubricant
 Location : lines the GI tract , ducts of many glands and gallbladder
 Function: secretion and absorption
Ciliated simple columnar epithelium:

nuclei near base

respiratory tract, uterine tubes, uterus, central
canal of spinal cord , and ventricles of the brain
Function: moves mucus and other substances
by ciliary action
Pseudostratified columnar
epithelium
 Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
appears to have several layers
because the nuclei of the cells are at
various depths.
 Nuclei of cells are at different levels
 All the cells are attached to the
basement membrane but do not
extend to the apical surface
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
epithelium
 The cells that extens to the surface either
secrete mucus or bear cilia
Location: lines the airways of most of upper
respiratory tract
Function: mucus traps foreign particles and
the cilia sweep away mucus
Pseudostratified nonciliated columnar
epithelium:
 It contains cells without cilia and lacks goblet cells
 Location: lines larger ducts of many glands,
epididymis, and part of male urethra
 Function: useful in the process of absorbing and
secreting substances as well as in creating barrier
between substances flowing through the cavity
and underlying tissue
Stratified epithelium
 Stratified epithelium has two or more layers of cells.
 Some cells of stratified epithelia also produce secretions
 The name of the specific kind of stratified epithelium depends on the
shape of the cells in the apical layer.

 Several layers of cells
 Cuboidal to columnar shape in deep layers
 Squamous cells form the apical layer and several layers deep to it
 Cells from the basal layer replace surface cells as they are lost

dehydrated and contain a layer of keratin

of the mouth , esophagus, part of epiglottis, vagina
covers tongue

Stratified cuboidal
epithelium

cells in the apical layer are cube shaped
Location: ducts of adult sweat glands and
esophageal glands and part of male
urethra

GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
 A gland may consist of a single cell or a
group of cells that secrete substances
into ducts onto a surface or into the
blood
 All glands of body are classified as either
endocrine or exocrine
Endocrine glands
 Endocrine glands release chemical
substances directly into the blood
stream or tissues of the body.
 The chemical substances released by
the endocrine glands are known as
Hormones
Exocrine glands:
 Exocrine glands release chemical substances through ducts
to outside the body or onto another surface within the body
Location: sweat, oil and earwax glands of the skin ,digestive
glands such as salivary glands, which secrete into mouth cavity
and pancreas, which secretes into the small intestine
