The surface of epithelial cells that faces the external environment or a body cavity is called the . The anchors the epithelial layer to the underlying connective tissue , providing support and structure . Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of flat cells , ideal for diffusion and filtration . Pseudostratified epithelium appears layered but all cells contact the basement membrane . Cells that are cup - shaped and secrete mucus are , found in respiratory and digestive tracts . The epithelium lining the can stretch , accommodating fluctuations in volume . Kidney tubules are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium , facilitating and . on the apical surface increase surface area for absorption , especially in the and . Movement of mucus is aided by , hair - like structures on the epithelial surface . Stratified squamous epithelium offers and is found in high - friction areas like the and . The main functions of epithelial tissues include protection , absorption , and secretion . Microvilli are commonly found in the small intestine and kidney tubules to help with absorption . The simple columnar epithelium usually lines the digestive tract . Ciliated epithelium is commonly found in the and respiratory tract . In stratified squamous epithelium , the outermost layer contains dead cells filled with keratin .

Epithelial tissues are classified based on the number of and the of the cells . Simple cuboidal epithelium usually functions in and . The nucleus in columnar epithelial cells is typically and located near the base . The epithelium that forms the outer layer of skin is known as . In the respiratory tract , mucus produced by is moved by . Epithelial cells lack and rely on diffusion from underlying tissues for nutrients . The type of epithelial tissue that lines blood vessels and heart chambers is called . The lining of alveoli in the lungs consists of . Microvilli are small finger - like projections that increase surface area in absorptive epithelial cells . Simple columnar epithelium found in the digestive tract often contains goblet cells and to help in absorption and lubrication . Stratified epithelium is more suited for protection because it has layers of cells . Transitional epithelium is unique because it can change its shape based on stretching . Stratified squamous epithelium found in the mouth and esophagus is usually . The primary role of epithelial tissues in glands is to perform secretion . Cilia are made of protein structures called that allow coordinated movement .

The basic unit of the nervous system is the . The part of the neuron that receives incoming signals is called the . The part that carries the signal away from the neuron cell body is called the . The junction between two neurons is called a . The insulates the axon and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses . The gaps between myelin sheaths are called . The is the enlarged region of the neuron that contains the nucleus and organelles . Motor neurons carry impulses from the or to muscles or glands . Sensory neurons carry impulses from sensory receptors to the central nervous system . Neurons communicate with each other through chemicals called . Supporting cells in the nervous system are called . The myelin sheath in the central nervous system is produced by . In the peripheral nervous system , produce the myelin sheath . The synaptic knob of a neuron releases neurotransmitters into the . During an action potential , enter the neuron to depolarize the membrane .
