1 Simple Squamous Epithelium Composed of a single layer of flattened cells lying on a basement membrane. In section only their flattened nuclei are often visible. Function: Provides a selective barrier which allows for filtration, passive diffusion and pinocytosis.

2 A single layer of cuboidal cells with rounded nuclei, lying on a basement membrane. They are often found lining ducts and may possess basal infoldings. Function: They transport fluids and may modify the contents of the lumen by selective absorption.

3 Function: Absorption, lubrication or movement of luminal contents.

4 Uterian tube

5 Pseudostratified Epith. Trachea

6 Pseudostratified Epididymis

7 Stratified columnar/cuboidal epith Multiple layers of cells in which the surface layer is cuboidal or columnar. Function: Protection or secretion. Location examples: Male Urethra, Large Glanduclar Ducts, Sweat Glands

8 Transitional

9 Simple Cuboidal Epith

10 Simple Cuboidal Salivary gland
