  2. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudostratified_columnar...

    Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is the type of respiratory epithelium found in the linings of the trachea as well as upper respiratory tract, which allows filtering and humidification of incoming air. [1] Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia are located in the prostate [2] and membranous part of male vas deferens.

  3. Neuroectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroectoderm

    Histologically, these cells are classified as pseudostratified columnar cells. [ 1 ] After recruitment from the ectoderm, the neuroectoderm undergoes three stages of development: transformation into the neural plate , transformation into the neural groove (with associated neural folds ), and transformation into the neural tube .

  5. Metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaplasia

    One example of pathological irritation is cigarette smoke, which causes the mucus-secreting ciliated pseudostratified columnar respiratory epithelial cells that line the airways to be replaced by stratified squamous epithelium, or a stone in the bile duct that causes the replacement of the secretory columnar epithelium with stratified squamous ...

  6. Duct (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(anatomy)

    Their epithelium can be simple cuboidal or simple columnar. [10] Striated ducts are part of the intralobular ducts. They are found in the submandibular gland, [11] [12] sublingual duct, and the parotid gland, but are more developed in the parotid gland. [13] They are not present in pancreas.

  7. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    There are many kinds of epithelium, and nomenclature is somewhat variable. Most classification schemes combine a description of the cell-shape in the upper layer of the epithelium with a word denoting the number of layers: either simple (one layer of cells) or stratified (multiple layers of cells).

  8. Intestinal metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_metaplasia

    Intestinal metaplasia is the transformation of epithelium (usually of the stomach or the esophagus) into a type of epithelium resembling that found in the intestine.In the esophagus, this is called Barrett's esophagus.

  9. Neuroepithelial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroepithelial_cell

    They are joined at the lumen of the tube by junctional complexes, where they form a pseudostratified layer of epithelium called neuroepithelium. [ 1 ] Neuroepithelial cells are the stem cells of the central nervous system , known as neural stem cells , and generate the intermediate progenitor cells known as radial glial cells , that ...
