simple squamous epithelium
Ans: Function: Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in
sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in
serosae.
Location: Kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels,
and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral body cavity(serosae)
simple cuboidal epithelium
Ans: Function: secretion and absorption
Location: Kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands,
ovary surface.

simple columnar epithelium
Ans: Function: Absorption; secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other
substances; ciliated type propels mucus (or reproductive cells) by ciliated
action.
Location: nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to
anal canal), gallbladder and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated
variety lines small bronchi, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus.
psuedostratified columnar epithelium
Ans: Function:
Secretes substances, particularly mucus; propulsion of mucus by ciliary
action
Location:
Male's sperm carrying duct; ciliated variety lines the trachea, most of the
upper respiratory tract.
