In slide 29 and slide 176, this type of epithelium lines the luminal (mucosal) surface of the small and large intestines, respectively. Refer to the diagram at the end of this chapter for the tissue orientation and consult the atlas for the cell types that make up the epithelium.
Slide Box. This virtual slide box contains more than 300 microscope slides for the learning histology. Fig 023 Types of Tissue. Cells and Tissues. Tissues are classified into four basic types: epithelium, connective tissue (includes cartilage, bone and blood), muscle, and nervous tissue. Chapter 1. The Cell. Chapter 2. Epithelium. Chapter 3.
Epithelial tissue serves two main functions in the body. It provides linings for external and internal surfaces that face harsh environments. The outer layer of the skin is epithelial tissue, as are the innermost layers of the digestive tract, the respiratory tract, and blood vessels.
Virtual microscope slides of squamous, cuboidal, and columnar epithelium (simple or compound), pseudostratified epithelium, and transitional epithelium.

This website contains more than 250 virtual microscope slides for learning histology. Cells and Tissues. Histology is organized into four basic types of tissue: (1) epithelium, (2) connective tissue (includes cartilage, bone and blood), (3) muscle, and (4) nervous tissue.
o Classify morphological types of epithelia based on the number of cell layers, shape of apical cells, and presence of surface specializations. o Describe the structure of microvilli, cilia, and other apical specializations of epithelial cells. o Explain the composition and function of the basement membrane.
As a routine procedure, look at a slide first with one of the lowest objective settings, noting any characteristic features and relating them where possible to the gross structure. Then, examine the slide with a higher objective setting, noting the histological landmarks and overall architecture.
The key points are: 1) Tissues are classified based on structure, composition and function. The four major types are epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue. 2) Epithelial tissues cover surfaces, line organs and form glands. They protect, absorb, secrete and transport.
Epithelial tissue forms protective coverings and linings throughout the body, including the skin, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. It has several key characteristics, such as being avascular and forming sheets of cells.
