  2. Stratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_columnar_epithelium

    Stratified columnar epithelium is initially present in parts of the gastrointestinal tract in utero, before being replaced with other types of epithelium. For example, by 8 weeks, it covers the lining of the stomach. [7] [8] By 17 weeks, it is replaced by simple columnar epithelium. [7] This is also found in the fetal esophagus. [8]

    By layer, epithelium is classed as either simple epithelium, only one cell thick (unilayered) or stratified epithelium as stratified squamous epithelium, stratified cuboidal epithelium, and stratified columnar epithelium that are two or more cells thick (multi-layered), [2] [3] and both types of layering can be made up of any of the cell shapes ...

  6. Gastrointestinal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_wall

    The epithelial lining of the mucosa, differs along the gastrointestinal tract. [1] The epithelium is described as stratified if it consists of multiple layers of cells, and simple if it is made up of one layer of cells. Terms used to describe the shape of the cells in it - columnar if column-shaped, and squamous if flat.

  7. Respiratory epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_epithelium

    Club cells carry out similar functions in the more distal airways. Certain parts of the respiratory tract, such as the oropharynx, are also subject to the abrasive swallowing of food. To prevent the destruction of the epithelium in these areas, it changes to stratified squamous epithelium, which is better suited to the constant sloughing and ...

  8. Simple columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_columnar_epithelium

    Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of columnar epithelial cells which are tall and slender with oval-shaped nuclei located in the basal region, attached to the basement membrane. In humans, simple columnar epithelium lines most organs of the digestive tract including the stomach, and intestines. Simple columnar epithelium also lines ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrahepatic_bile_ducts

    [1] Intrahepatic bile ducts compose the outflow system of exocrine bile product from the liver. They can be divided into: [2] Lobar ducts (right and left hepatic ducts) - stratified columnar epithelium. Interlobar ducts (between the main hepatic ducts and the interlobular ducts) - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
