Different type of epithelium cells according to their shape ?

A

The basic shapes of the epithelial cells are squamous (flat), cuboidal or columnar. Sometimes an epithelial surface can appear stratified cuboidal when relaxed, but when stretched its cells change shape to stratified squamous; this type of epithelium is termed transitional and it is found in locations such as the bladder, urethra and ureters. It can therefore also be known as urothelium.

124
Q

Epithelium cells according to their surface modification ?

A

Surface modifications include cilia and keratinisation. The naming of the epithelia is therefore modified to reflect this.

Q

What is Serous membranes?

A
  • epithelia that secrete
  • They are composed of two layers of simple squamous epithelium, called a mesothelium. The inner layer of mesothelium is in contact with the organs in the cavity and is called the visceral membrane, the outer layer of mesothelium is called the parietal membrane.
  • The mesothelial layers secrete serous fluid which lubricates the surfaces and reduces friction in these body cavities from muscle movement.

Q

collagen in Extra cellular matrix (ECL) is hydrophilic, meaning the ground substance becomes gel-like. True / False
