  2. Stratified squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_squamous_epithelium

    A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity.

  3. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium

    The outermost layer of human skin is composed of dead stratified squamous, keratinized epithelial cells. [14] Tissues that line the inside of the mouth, the esophagus, 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 ...

  5. Tissue membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_membrane

    The skin is an epithelial membrane also called the cutaneous membrane. It is a stratified squamous epithelial membrane resting on top of connective tissue. The apical surface of this membrane is exposed to the external environment and is covered with dead, keratinized cells that help protect the body from desiccation and pathogens.

  6. Respiratory epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_epithelium

    The cells in the respiratory epithelium are of five main types: a) ciliated cells, b) goblet cells, c) brush cells, d) airway basal cells, and e) small granule cells (NDES) [6] Goblet cells become increasingly fewer further down the respiratory tree until they are absent in the terminal bronchioles; club cells take over their role to some extent here.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin

    Tissue mass is defined at 3.3 kg (ICRP-89, ICRP110) and addresses the skin's epidermis, dermis, hair follicles, and glands. The cell data is extracted from 'The Human Cell Count and Cell Size Distribution', [17] [18] Tissue-Table tab in the Supporting Information SO1 Dataset (xlsx). The 1200 record Dataset is supported by extensive references ...

    "Muscle is the most metabolically active tissue we have, so losing it may cause weight creep over time," says Alexander. At the same time, your metabolism naturally slows down with age. This dip ...

  9. Transitional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_epithelium

    The transitional epithelium cells stretch readily in order to accommodate fluctuation of volume of the liquid in an organ (the distal part of the urethra becomes non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in females; the part that lines the bottom of the tissue is called the basement membrane).
