, Pseudostratified - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Epithelium with single layer of cells; some cells
are tall and thin and reach the free surface, and others do not
Stratified squamous - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔epithelium with multiple layers of cells in
which the deepest layers are cuboidal or columnar and becomes flattened at the
surface
Stratified epithelium - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔found in areas where protection is a major
function, e.g., skin, anal canal, and vagina
simple epithelium - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔found in organs where the principal functions
are diffusion, filtration, secretion or absorption
Cuboidal/ columnar - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔epithelial cells involved in diffusion or
filtration
squamous - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔epithelial cells with the major function of secretion or
absorption
smooth - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔cell surface that reduces friction
cilia - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔propel materials along the cell surface
microvilli - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔greatly increases surface area; cylindrical extensions
of the cell membrane
