Document Summary
Structure: a single layer of elliptically shaped cells with flattened nuclei. Location: glo(cid:373)erulus a(cid:374)d bow(cid:373)a(cid:374)"s (cid:272)apsules of the kidneys. Structure: single layer of cells that are as tall as they are wide (cubed shaped). Nuclei are large and found at center of cell. Function: provides protection against abrasion, foreign particles, bacteria, and excessive water loss. Location: lines small excretory ducts, in various organs and glands, kidney tubules, ovarian surface, respiratory bronchiole. Structure: single cell layer that is longer than they are wide. Nucleus is large, circular, and near the end of the cell closest to basement membrane. Most prolific cells in the body, constant regeneration. Location: digestive tract, female reproductive organs, nasal passage. Function: protection against mechanical and physical damage, chemical damage in the esophagus. Structure: commonly two-layered (but can be multi- layered). Location: rare in the body, found in linings of large ducts including salivary, mammary, and sweat glands.
