The intestinal epithelium, which covers the small and large intestine, is simple columnar and nonciliated. It lines most of the organs of the digestive tract.
The jejunum is lined with simple columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is specialized for absorption and secretion, making it well suited for the functions of this part of the small intestine.
The visceral peritoneum, a serious membrane, lines the outside of the small intestine where it meets the peritoneal cavity.
stratifed squamous epithelium
transitional epithelium
Epithelium lines the ear
nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
simple cuboidal with microvilli
The duodenum is lined with simple columnar epithelium, which is specialized for absorption and secretion. This type of epithelium contains cells with microvilli that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
Cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that lines the surfaces of small ducts and tubules in various organs of the body. It functions in secretion and absorption, and the cuboidal shape of the cells allows for efficient transport of molecules.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract. This type of epithelium helps to trap foreign particles and move them out of the respiratory system with the help of cilia.
Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
