Epithelial cells

Organ: kidney

pointed structure: renal corpuscle pointed structure: bowmans capsule

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: simple
Specific: simple squamous
 kidney

Pointed structure: proximal convoluted tubule pointed structure: distal convoluted tubule
with brush border

Fundamental: epithelial epithelial

Subtype: simple simple
Specific: simple cuboidal with brush borders simple cubiodal

(to know that it is the proximal from the distal, proximal has the brush borders while the distal has none)
Look at the center of the proximal convuluted tubule, it is cloudy or hazy in the middle, those are the brush borders.
 Thyroid gland

-------------

------------------

pointed structure: thyroid follicle pointed structure: follicular cells

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: simple
Specific: simple cuboidal
 Gallbladder

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: simple
Specific: simple columnar
 Fallopian tube or oviduct

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: simple
Specific: simple columnar ciliated
Modified structure: cilia
 trachea

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: pseudostratified
Specific: pseudostratified ciliated
Modified structure: cilia
 Ductus epididymis

Fundamental : epithelial
Subtype: pseudostratified
Specific: pseudostratified with stereocilia
Modified structure: stereocilia
 ureter

Fundamental: epithelial
Subtype: transitional
Specific: transitional
 Urinary bladder

Fundamental : epithelial
Subtype: transitional
Specific : transitional
 esophagus

Fundamental : epithelial
Subtype : stratified
Specific : stratified squamous non-keratinizing
 skin

Fundamental : epithelial
Subtype: stratified
Specific: stratified squamous keratinizing
 liver

Subtype: glandular or compound tubular

 Compare ureter, urinary bladder and fallopian tube

the urinary bladder ureter fallopian tube

Ureter is more stellate, the curvatures are closer and deeper.

Fallopian tube looks like a leaf matrix or a fern. It has so many branching
Urinary bladder has curvatures which are wider and farther apart
 Compare esophagus, skin and trachea

glands

Esophagus has big glands

Skin has darkly stained stratified squamous cell
Trachea has cartilage and also their lining epithelium is pseudostratified ciliated
