What type of epithelial tissue is found in the esophagus?
Pseudostratified columnar cells line the inside of the trachea and simple squamous cells make up the alveoli
What type of epithelium line anus?
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
What thin sheets of tissue that secretes mucus and line body surfaces?

Epithelial cells are cells that line cavities and surfaces in the body. They come in squamous, cuboidal and columnar varieties. A basement membance separates the epithelium from connective tissue.
What is the difference between Hilton white line and the pectinate line?
Hilton's white line is slightly below the pectinate line. The transition of epithelium at Hilton's white is from non-keratinising squamous to keratining squamous while at the pectinate line it is coloumnar to non-keratinising stratified squamous. Also Hilton's seperates the venous drainage from potal to systemic while pectinate line seperates arterial supply from inf. mesenteric to internal pudendal. Second year med student
What is a structural characteristic of squamous epithelium?
There is different types of squamous epithelium: simple and stratified. The function of simple squamous epithelium:It is good for the passage of materials via diffusion. For example, it forms the tiny air sacs of the lungs and the walls of capillaries. It also forms the smooth, friction-reducing interior lining of the heart, blood vessels, thoracic cavity, and abdominal cavity. The function of the stratifed squamous epithelium: It functions to protect underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion. The keratinized type forms the outermost layer of the skin, where it functions to prevent water loss. The nonkeratinized variety forms the moist linings of the mouth,esophagus, anus, vagina.
