What are the types of epithelium?

Epithelial Cells of the pulmonary surface, and the epithelial duct elements of Glands; Ciliary epithelium, esophageal, germinal {of Ovaries}, glandular and membranous; The Cornea, larynx, nasopharynx, small intestine, stomach, olfactory, and pigments of the Retina; and Central to All is the Lining Of Capillary Branches. As well, here are the rest: Pseudostratified, seminiferous, simple, simple columnar, simple cubical, simple cuboidal, simple squamous, stratified, stratified columnar, stratified cuboidal, stratified squamous, surface - of stomach - , and transitional.


Is the endocardium made up of simple squamous or stratified squamous epithelium?

Simple squamous. Just like the endothelium & mesothelium.


How do simple and stratified epithelial tissues differ?

So, think of parts of the body where stratified and simple epithelium line.The stomach and small intestine, for example, are lined with simple epithelial tissue, but the skin, vagina and oesophagus are composed of stratified epithelial tissue.So areas where there isn't a huge amount of movement required are lined with simple epithelium (the stomach just secretes substances and the small intestine absorbs and secretes; absorption is made easier by having just the one layer). But the skin, vagina and oesophagus have to deal with a lot mechanical stress and so simple epithelium wouldn't be suitable which is why so many layers are needed; hence they are composed of stratified epithelium.Stratifed epithelia are two or more cells thick and simple epitheium are one cell thick
