    Classification of Epithelia

    Uploaded by

    This document classifies and describes different types of epithelia. It identifies simple epithelia as either simple squamous, simple cuboidal, or simple columnar, depending on the shape of the surface cells. Stratified epithelia are classified as either stratified squamous keratinized, stratified squamous non-keratinized, stratified cuboidal, or stratified columnar based on the shape and layers of cells. Transitional epithelium lines the urinary tract and has large dome-shaped cells that change shape.
