This lab exercise focuses on reviewing and identifying different types of epithelial tissues, including simple cuboidal, simple squamous, simple columnar, pseudostratified ciliated columnar, transitional, stratified squamous, stratified columnar, and stratified cuboidal. Follow the instructions in the lab manual and draw at least one example of each type of tissue.

Lab Exercise #6a Part 1 - Epithelial Tissues
Simple cuboidal epithelium • lining a tubule (longitudinal cut). Some of the cell boundaries between "blocks" or "cubes" here are quite distinct.
Simple Cuboidal • Covers surface of ovary, lines kidney tubules and small ducts of glands (thyroid and pancreas)
Simple squamous epithelium • High power view of endothelial cells lining a small blood vessel cut in cross-section. (You see just the nuclei - the cytoplasm between them is extremely flat.) Endothelium = the simple squamous epithelium lining blood vessels.
Simple columnar • Another example – intestine, with goblet
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium Trachea. Nuclei are at different levels. All cells touch the basement membrane, but only the taller cells reach the lumen. The cilia are longer and less regular than the microvilli of a striated border.
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium • Look like multiple layers • Trachea Figure 4–5b
Transitional Epithelium • Tolerates stretching • Appearance changes (stratified to simple) • Urinary bladder Figure 4–4c
Stratified Squamous Epithelium Figure 4–3b
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium • Sweat gland ducts Figure 4–4b
Stratified Columnar Epithelium • Rare • Salivary gland duct Figure 4–5c
Note • It is the shape of the most superficial layer that determines what type of stratified epithelium it is.
Today’s procedure • Set up microscope • Get a slide (or up to 3 or 4) • Follow instructions in Lab Manual • Hints • Start on low power and locate epithelium (this is the bulk of the work) • Go to 10x, then 40x • Draw tissue • Return slide to box you got it from.
Today’s lab • Examine and draw at least one of each type of epithelial tissue • Activity 1: • Simple squamous • Simple cuboidal • Simple columnar • Psuedostratified ciliated columnar • Transitional • Stratified squamous • Stratified columnar • Stratified cuboidal (?)
