<P> Tissues that line the inside of the mouth , the oesophagus , the vagina , and part of the rectum are composed of nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium . Other surfaces that separate body cavities from the outside environment are lined by simple squamous , columnar , or pseudostratified epithelial cells . Other epithelial cells line the insides of the lungs , the gastrointestinal tract , the reproductive and urinary tracts , and make up the exocrine and endocrine glands . The outer surface of the cornea is covered with fast - growing , easily regenerated epithelial cells . A specialised form of epithelium -- endothelium forms the inner lining of blood vessels and the heart , and is known as vascular endothelium , and lining lymphatic vessels as lymphatic endothelium . Another type , mesothelium , forms the walls of the pericardium , pleurae , and peritoneum . </P>
