Answer 1

A. Simple columnar epithelium- forms single layer of flattened cells, forms the inner lining of stomach and intestines.

B. Simple cuboidal epithelium- Lines kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands- found in area where secretions and absorption occurs

C. Simple squamous epithelium- single layer of flattened cells, 5. Forms walls of capillaries and air sacs of lungs

D.Pseudostratified columnar epithelium- commonly possesses cilia that move dust and mucus out of the respiratory airway , 4. Single raw of elongated cells but some don't reach the free surface.

E. Stratified squamous epithelium- 12. Forms lining of oral cavity, anal canal and vagina7. Provides abrasion protection of skin epidermis and oral cavity.

F. Stratified columnar epithelium- 6. Provides lining of urethra and pharynx

G. Stratified cuboidal epithelium- 11. Two or three layers of cube shaped cells.

H. Transitional epithelium- 1. Consists of several layers of cube shaped, elongated and irregular cells, allowing an expandable lining.
