  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

    This consists of a layer of cells resting on at least one other layer of epithelial cells, which can be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar. Pseudostratified These are simple columnar epithelial cells whose nuclei appear at different heights, giving the misleading (hence "pseudo") impression that the epithelium is stratified when the cells are ...

    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 ...

  6. Respiratory epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_epithelium

    Another important cell type is the pulmonary neuroendocrine cell. These are innervated cells that only make up around 0.5% of the respiratory epithelial cells. [7] The ciliated cells are columnar epithelial cells with specialized ciliary modifications. The ciliated cells make up between 50 and 80 per cent of the epithelium. [8]

  7. Cervix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix

    Other abnormalities include: vaginal adenosis, in which the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix becomes columnar; cancers such as clear cell adenocarcinomas; cervical ridges and hoods; and development of a cockscomb cervix appearance, [59] which is the condition wherein, as the name suggests, the cervix of the uterus is shaped like a cockscomb.

  8. Vaginal epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_epithelium

    The vaginal epithelium is divided into layers of cells, including the basal cells, the parabasal cells, the superficial squamous flat cells, and the intermediate cells. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 8 ] The superficial cells exfoliate continuously, and basal cells replace the superficial cells that die and slough off from the stratum corneum .

  9. 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 ...
