Tubules are cut in cross section and appear circular. Some of the tubule walls consist of simple squamous epithelium (the nuclei of these cells are labeled N; the cytoplasm is indicated by pairs of arrowheads).

The two classification systems are combined, giving us simple squamous epithelium, simple cuboidal epithelium, simple columnar epithelium, stratified squamous epithelium, stratified cuboidal epithelium, and stratified columnar epithelium.

REMEMBER: Only the shape of the cells in the most apical (top) layer of a stratified epithelium is used for classification.

sublingual gland SD = serous demilunes (SD). The cytoplasm is pink, and the nuclei are round. (Serous demilunes are an artifact resulting from the histological methods used to create the slide: in life, the serous and mucous cells are adjacent to one another. Serous demilunes are only found in seromucous (mixed) glands. In preparations of serous glands, the cells retain their usual shape.) N = The mucus-secreting cells have a light, foamy-appearing cytoplasm. The nuclei (N) are oval-shaped and flattened against the basal surface of the cell. H&E

Transitional epithelium Urinary bladder. The lumen of the bladder is labeled L. The basement membrane is labeled BM The rounded, dome-shaped cells are at the top of the image and are labeled rC. A binucleated cell is indicated with an arrow. Notice the blood vessels deep to the transitional epithelium labeled V (venules) and A (arteriole); these are lined by simple squamous epithelium. H&E

This is a section of the scalp. The duct of a sweat gland is visible (the gland is coiled, so it appears in the section as multiple circular cross sections). The pointer is indicating stratified cuboidal epithelium, consisting of two layers of cuboidal cells. H&E

Stratified columnar epithelium This is a section of the mammary gland (breast). A portion of a lactiferous duct is in the center of the image. The lumen of the duct is surrounded by two-layered epithelium: the inner (apical) layer is columnar, and the outer (basal) layer is cuboidal. Note the different shapes of the nuclei in the two layers. The pink tissue surrounding the duct is dense irregular connective tissue. H&E

how many types of epithelium are there?

To distinguish it from simple columnar epithelium, look at the positions of the nuclei. The nuclei of simple columnar epithelial cells will be at roughly the same location in each cell, so the nuclei of the cells should line up. The nuclei of cells in pseudo stratified epithelium will be at various distances from the basal lamina and might appear to be in cells of several different layers. (Note that both simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelium often contain goblet cells.)

pseudostratified epithelium - Two epithelial cells are outlined in white. Notice that they are of differing heights, but they are both in contact with the basal lamina (yellow arrow) The taller cells have stereocilia on their apical surfaces. These appear longer and wispier than cilia. Section of the epididymis (part of the male reproductive tract). The lumen of the epididymis contains spermatozoa. H&E

SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM - taller than they are wide) with oval-shaped nuclei usually positioned toward the basal aspect of the cell. This is a section through the gallbladder. The lumen of the gallbladder is labeled L. (The mucosa of the galbladder has many convoluted folds, which is why the section shows several areas of lumen that are seemingly distinct from one another. In reality, the gallbladder just has one lumen.) A blood vessel containing red blood cells (and lined by endothelium) is indicated with an arrow. One of the simple columnar epithelial cells is outlined by a black box. staining used = H&E

type of epithelium?

SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM -one layer of cube-shaped (about as wide as they are tall) cells with a round, centrally placed nucleus. These are ependymal cells, which line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord (the lumen is located at the top of the image, above the epithelium, and the neural tissue is located at the bottom of the image, below the epithelium). In cross section, the cells are shaped like squares. The cytoplasm is stained light blue and the nuclei are stained a darker shade of blue (only hematoxylin was used to stain this slide).

type of epithelium?

SIMPLE This is a section showing blood vessels in the kidney. The lumen (hollow center) of the blood vessel at the center of the picture is labeled L and appears to be bright pink because it is filled with red blood cells. The lumen of the vessel is lined by endothelium. The nuclei (N) of the endothelial cells bulge into the lumen of the vessel. Additional nuclei are labeled SE (for squamous epithelium). The cytoplasm of the endothelial cells is very thin and is difficult to see. The cells labeled M are separate cells in a layer deep to the endothelial cells.

type of squamous epithelium?

the apical (top), basal (bottom), and lateral (sides) aspects of the cells are distinct from one another. The apical surface faces a lumen, body cavity, or surface of the body and may have modifications such as microvilli, cilia, or stereocilia. The basal surface faces the basal lamina. The lateral surfaces are in contact with adjacent epithelial cells.

what does it mean that epithelial cells are polarized?

Simple columnar epithelium Section of the ileum (small intestine). L = Lumen BM = basement mem. Arrowheads = brush border Goblet cells are single-celled glands that secrete mucins. The mucin within the goblet cells appears light in H&E staining (in this image, it is labeled m and T). GZ = Golgi apparatus, N = nucleus, b = basal area of the cell in contact with the basal lamina.

Stratified cuboidal epithelium is made up of multiple layers (usually only two layers) of cuboidal cells

what is the tissue type that is relatively rare and is found lining the ducts of glands.

S/N = Stratified cuboidal epithelium magnified image of a sweat gland duct The lumen of the duct is labeled L, and a wall of two layers of cuboidal cells surrounds it.. Note the nuclei (N) of two adjacent cells, demonstrating that this epithelium consists of two layers. The basement membrane (BM) surrounds the duct and is in contact with the basal aspect of the basal-most layer of cells. Also notice the lymphatic vessel (LV) and capillary (Cp), which are both lined by simple squamous epithelium (the arrowhead points to the cytoplasm of the lymph endothelium, and the arrow points to the nucleus of the capillary endothelium; there is a red blood cell visible in the capillary lumen). H&E

H&E

what type of epithelium indicated by black bracket? what is in the blue bracket?

microvilli can be seen well using an electron microscope. Individual microvilli cannot be distinguished from one another using a light microscope -- they appear as a fuzzy border on the apical edge of the cell. This is called the brush border.

what's the brush border?

Stratified columnar epithelium This is a section of the parotid duct. The lumen of the duct is at the top of the image. Two epithelial cells (one columnar and one cuboidal) are outlined in black.
