Identify each of the following epithelial tissues from their functional description: Epithelium can function in diffusion, filtration, secretion, and protection based on location. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium can function in absorption, secretion, and protection. Simple squamous epithelium functions in the protection of underlying layers. Transitional epithelium functions in the movement of a secretion (like mucus) across the apical surface of the tissue. Stratified squamous epithelium accommodates distension and relaxation with changes in organ volume. Simple cuboidal epithelium.
