Pseudostratified: These are columnar epithelial cells that have different heights. They have hair-like extensions called cilia. These cells are found in airways, like the nose and bronchi, as well as the uterus and fallopian tubes. Keratinized: These contain keratin, a tough, waterproof protein ...
Epithelial Tissues:Epithelial tissues are made of epithelial cells. Epithelial tissues are thin tissues that cover the exposed surfaces of your body. Epithelial tissues are found all over the body. Epithelial tissues line the body cavities and hollow organs. They are found in the covering of all ...
Epithelial tissue covers bodily surfaces as well as the inside of some organs. Based on cellular structure, epithelial tissue can be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar. Based on organization, it can be simple or stratified.Answer and Explanation: ...
Learn about connective tissue, one of the body's four tissue types. It plays essential roles by protecting, supporting, and joining organs to tissues
Squamous epithelial cells are found in the skin, mucous membranes, and tissues lining your organs. Abnormal squamous epithelial cells are often detected on Pap smears and are associated with HPV-related cancers. Squamous epithelial cells found on a urine test can indicate a UTI, liver disease, or...

The genomes of acne-enriched strains selectively harbor a plasmid and two chromosomal regions that contain genes possibly involved in virulence, adhesion to epithelial tissues, or induction of human immune response. Two letters to the editor by Alexeyev and Zouboulis (2013), and Eady and Layton ...
HIV infection compromises the intestinal epithelial barrier, increasing permeability and microbial translocation, which trigger inflammation and cellular stress. ART does not fully restore gut barrier integrity, leading to persistent inflammation and cellular stress. Additionally, HIV-associated microbial dysbiosi...
Epithelial Cells: Epithelial cells are the cells that make up epithelial tissues in the body. Epithelial tissues (often know simply as epithelium) are the thin tissues that line the inner and outer surfaces of various structures in the body such as blood vessels, body cavities, and organs. ...
Lymphatic System Structures The major components of the lymphatic system include lymph, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic organs that contain lymphoid tissues. Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic vessels are structures that absorb fluid that diffuses from blood vessel capillaries into surrounding tissues. This fluid...
