1. Epithelial Functions: Protection, Excretion,Absorption,secretion (PEAS)
Location: cover body surface, cover and line internal organs, composed
glands
Description: lack blood vessels, readily divide, cells are tightly packed

2. Connective Function: Bind, support, protect, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells
Location: widely distributed throughout body
Description: mostly have good blood supply; cells are farther apart than
epithelial cells with extracellular matrix in between

3. Muscle Function:movement
Location: attached to bones, in the walls of hollow internal organs, heart
Description: able to contract in response to specific stimuli

4. Nervous Function:conduct impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and
sensory reception
Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Description:cells communicate with each other and other body parts

5. ID Epithelial Types Number of layers(first) Shape of cell(last)
Layers: simple (single) stratified ( two or more)
Shape: squamous(thin flattened) cuboidal (cube-shaped) columnar(elon-
gated)

6. Simple Squamous Ep- Description:single layer of thin, flattened cells
ithelium tightly together (floor tiles),broad and thin nuclei , easily damaged
Function:site of diffusion and filtration osmosis covers surface
location:lines airs sac(alveoli) (O2 and CO2 exchange),wall of capillaries, line
inside blood and lymph vessels, part of membrane line body cavities and
cover viscera

7. Simple Cuboidal Ep- Description: single layer cube-shaped cell, spherical nuclei
ithelium Function: formation of urine (kidneys), secreted glandular prod-
ucts(glands), protects
Location: covers ovaries and lines kidney tubules ducts of glands (Free
surface face LUMEN(hollow chamber)




8. Simple Columnar Ep- Description: taller than wider,Thick(protects), single layer elongated nuclei
ithelium located near basement membrane, can be ciliated or nonciliated
Function: cilia aide in moving egg cell, protects underlying tissues, se-
cretes(goblet cells) digestive fluids and absorbs(microvilli) nutrients form
digested food
Location: female reproductive tract(cilia), (non cilia) uterus and digestive
tract (stomach small and large intestines)




9. goblet cell specialized flask-shaped glandular cell, secretes mucus(protective fluid)
unicellular gland found in columnar epithelium that secretes mucous
unicellular exocrine gland

10. Microvilli tiny cylindrical process increase surface membrane
projections that increase the cell's surface area
