Within the surface epithelium
Epithelial Specialized Apical Features
Cilia, stereovilli, Microvilli
Epithelial Classifications
Number of layers, cell shape, specialized features
Do endocrine glands have ducts?
No. Release into the blood stream
Paracrine cell signaling
Molecules act on neighbor cells
