Simple cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelium that consists of a single layer of cuboidal (cube-like) cells which have large, spherical and central nuclei. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found on the surface of ovaries, the lining of nephrons, the walls of the renal tubules, parts of the eye and thyroid, and in salivary glands. [1]
Cholangiocytes are the epithelial cells of the bile duct. [1] They are cuboidal epithelium in the small interlobular bile ducts, but become columnar and carbonate-secreting in larger bile ducts approaching the porta hepatis and the extrahepatic ducts. They contribute to hepatocyte survival by transporting bile acids.
The slide shows at (1) an epithelial cell infected by Chlamydia pneumoniae; their inclusion bodies shown at (3); an uninfected cell shown at (2) and (4) showing the difference between an infected cell nucleus and an uninfected cell nucleus. Epithelium grown in culture can be identified by examining its morphological characteristics.
Stratified cuboidal epithelium, highlighting the nucleuses, the rest of the epithelial cells, and underlying connective tissue. Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal cells, and the other layers can be cells of other ...
The cytotrophoblast contains cuboidal epithelial cells and is the source of dividing cells, and the syncytiotrophoblast is a syncytial layer without cell boundaries. The syncytiotrophoblast implants the blastocyst in the decidual epithelium by projections of chorionic villi , forming the embryonic part of the placenta.
The transport of iodide into follicular cells is vital for the synthesis of the iodine containing thyroid hormones. Iodide is actively transported at the basolateral membrane of follicular cells by the sodium-iodide symporter. [3] At the apical membrane iodide is secreted into the colloid by the chloride/iodide transporter pendrin.
Club cells, also known as bronchiolar exocrine cells, [1] are low columnar/cuboidal cells with short microvilli, found in the small airways (bronchioles) of the lungs. [2] They were formerly known as Clara cells. Club cells are found in the ciliated simple epithelium. These cells may secrete glycosaminoglycans to protect
[1] [2] [3] These two layers of cells are stretched between two fluid-filled cavities at either end: the primitive yolk sac and the amniotic sac. The epiblast is adjacent to the trophoblast and made of columnar epithelial cells ; the hypoblast is closest to the blastocoel (blastocystic cavity) and made of cuboidal cells.
