    This document discusses three types of epithelial tissue: simple squamous, stratified squamous, and keratinized stratified squamous. Simple squamous tissue forms thin linings for structures like blood vessels and lung alveoli, allowing for diffusion. Stratified squamous tissue is arranged in multiple layers for protection, found in the skin and esophagus. Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium specifically has 5 layers and helps form the outer protective layer of skin.

    Types - Epithelial tissue

    main function secretion


    and absorption
    Simple squamous
    single layer of thin (forms a delicate
    lining) and flat cells with irregular
    boundaries
    location - blood vessels, alveloli of lungs.
    function - forms a diffusion boundary
    (diffusion of CO2 and O in lungs)
    arises from ectoderm
    Stratified squamous
    arranged in a pattern of layers
    skin epithelial cells are arrange in many
    layers to prevent wear and tear
    found in inner layer of oesophagus, outer
    layer of skin
    arise from endoderm
    divided into keratinized squamous
    epithelium and non-keratinized stratified
    squamous epithelium.
    Facts & questions
    Keratinized stratified 1. Which tissue helps in
    squamous epithilium has 5 diffusion of Oxygen and
    layers. They are stratum Carbon dioxide?
    basale, stratum spinosum, 2. Name the tissue that has
    stratum granulosum, stratum very less intercellular
    lucidum, stratum corneum. matrix.
