$\bf\small \underline \red{Question :-}$

Name four types of epithelial tissue and mention their functions.

$\bf\small \underline \red{Required \: Answer :-}$

Epithelial tissue is of different types depend on their unique functions :-

• Squamous
• Cuboidal
• Columnar
• Glandular

$\rightarrow \: \bf \small \underline\blue { Squamous \: epithelial \: tissue}$

What is Squamous epithelial tissue?

Squamous epithelial tissue consists of a layer of a thin flat cells. It is present in the lining of blood vessels, lungs, mouth, oesophagus, etc.

Function :-

• Protects underlying tissue from injury, germs, etc.
• Exchange of gases in lungs and materials between cells and blood.

$\rightarrow \: \bf \small \underline\blue { Cuboidal\: epithelial \: tissue}$

What is Cuboidal epithelial tissue?

Cuboidal epithelial tissue is consists of cube shaped cells having a basement membrane. It forms the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands.

Function :-

• It provides mechanical support to the organs.

$\rightarrow \: \bf \small \underline\blue { Columnar \: epithelial \: tissue}$

What is Cuboidal epithelial tissue?

Cuboidal epithelial tissue is consists of tall pillar like cells. It is present in the walls of the intestine. The Cuboidal epithelial tissue in the the respiratory tract has hair like projections called cilia, hence this tissue is called ciliated columnar epithelium.

Function :-

• helps in absorption, secretion and excretion.

$\rightarrow \: \bf \small \underline\blue { Glandular \: epithelial \: tissue}$

What is Glandular epithelial tissue?

Sometimes portion of the epithelium tissue folds inwards to form a multicellular gland which secretes substances. This tissue is called Glandular epithelial tissue.

Function :-

• These secrete mucus and are found in the stomach, colon and rectum
