Table of Epithelia of Human Organs

The document describes the different types of epithelia found in the organs and tissues of the human body. It provides a table organized by body system that lists the specific tissue, the epithelium type, and epithelial subtype. Some of the major epithelia mentioned include stratified squamous, simple columnar, pseudostratified columnar, transitional, and stratified cuboidal epithelia found in the digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, sensory, circulatory, endocrine, lymphatic, integumentary, and nervous systems.
