What is Epithelial Tissue?
A tissue which forms a continuous layer, covering internal or external surfaces in the body (such as organs).
1 of 14
What is the main feature of Epithelia?
They have no blood vessels but may have nerve endings.
2 of 14
What is cuboidal epithelium and where is it commonly found?
Epithelia cells which are cubed in shape and form a one cell thick tissue occurring in the kidney tubule and the ducts of salivary glands.
3 of 14
What is the difference between cuboidal and columnar epithelium?
Columnar epithelium have elongated cells compared to the cuboid shape of cuboidal epithelia.
4 of 14
What is squamous epithelium?
Flattened cells on a basement membrane.
5 of 14
Where is columnar epithelium found?
On the lining of tubes which substances move through such as trencher and the oviduct (fallopian tube)>

Where is smooth muscle found?
They occur in the skin, in the walls of blood vessels and in the digestive and respiratory tract.
