MT 30 LAB – H 4 years, 8 months ago Simple Cuboidal Epithelium consists of a monolayer whose height roughly equals its width. In sections perpendicular to the surface, cells resemble small box-like cubes. Cells in the horizontal section appear to be a mosaic of polygonal tiles. They are found on the surface of ovaries, the lining of nephrons, the walls of the renal tubules, parts of the eye and thyroid, and in salivary glands. On these surfaces, the cells perform secretion and absorption.Transitional epithelium is an epithelial tissue that in a relaxed state appears as a stratified cuboidal epithelium. The cells in the transitional epithelium are pear-shaped or round, but as tissue is stretched, cells become flattened, giving the appearance of stratified squamous epithelium. Most commonly found in the urinary and male reproductive tract in humans.
Ciliated epithelium is a thin tissue that has hair-like structures on it. These hairs, called cilia, move back and forth to help move particles out of our bodies. We find ciliated epithelial tissue in our respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of women.
