The transitional epithelium, also known as the urothelium, lines the urethra, ureters, and urinary bladder. 

The columnar epithelium is found in those parts which are responsible for absorption and secretion, such as it forms the lining of the intestine, stomach, and colon, forming mucous membrane.

A non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium consists of cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in the Oral cavity, Pharynx, Vagina, and Cervix.
