epithelium found in ducts of certain glands and the upper respiratory tract
and secret substances
8. endothelium and simple squamous epithelia found in the lymphatic vessels
mesothelium and all hollow organs of the cardiovascular system
(endothelium) and in serous membranes (mesothelium
9. stratified squa- several layers thick, basal cells are cuboidal or columnar
mous epithelium and metabolically active while surface cells are flattened
and often keratinized; functions to protect underlying
tissues in areas subjected to abrasion
10. transitional resembles both stratified squamous and stratified
epithelium cuboidal is stretch and permits storage of urine in ureters,
bladder, and urethra

cuboidal and male urethra and some other glandular ducts
columnar
