Document Summary

Epithelial tissue: characteristics and function, covers and protects, distinct cell surfaces, able to regenerate, simple squamous, function: diffusion, filtration and some secretion, location: Serous membranes of pleura, pericardium and peritoneum: simple cuboidal, function: absorption, secretion and movement, location: Terminal bronchioles: simple columnar, function: absorption, secretion and movement, location: Lungs: transitional, function: accommodate changes in fluid volume of the organs, location: Upper part of urethra: stratified squamous, can be divided into keratinised and non-keratinised, function: protection against abrasion/friction and water loss, locations of keratinised: Vagina: stratified cuboidal, function: absorption, secretion and protection, locations: Ducts of developing ovum: stratified columnar, function: secretion and protection, locations: Part of male urethra: pseudostratified columnar, function: secretion and movement, locations: Connective tissue: characteristics and function, connects and binds together, supports, strengthens, protects, insulates, transports, locations: all organs and parts of the body but various amounts, composition, cells. Adipose cells energy source and cushioning. Fibroblasts secrete fibres and ground substances.
