The function is; Allows for Distention or Stretching. |
Transitional |
Types of Epithelium |
|
The function is secretion; one or more specialized cell types that release their contents into ducts; onto a surface, or directly into the blood. |
Glands |
|
|
Glands that secrete their products, into ducts and onto the body surfaces or cavities. |
Exocrine |
Type of Glands |
|
Glands that secrete their products, directly into the blood. |
