Simple Squamous Epithelial - Location: veins, aretioles, alveoli, glomerular capsules of kidneys
Function: rapid diffusion/osmosis
SImple Cuboidal Epithelial - Location: salivatory and mammary glands, kidney tubules, bronchioles
Function: absorption and secretion
Simple Columnar Epithelial - Location: lining of large intestine/diegstive track (unciliated); unterine
tubes (ciliated)
Function: secrete and move mucous, absorption and secretion, move oocyte and sperm
