An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Epithelial ( mesothelial ) tissues line the outer surfaces of many internal organs , the corresponding inner surfaces of body cavities , and the inner surfaces of blood vessels .
Anatomy of a root tip. 3 is the rhizodermis. Rhizodermis is the root epidermis (also referred to as epiblem), the outermost primary cell layer of the root.. Specialized rhisodermal cells, trichoblasts, form long tubular structures (from 5 to 17 micrometers in diameter and from 80 micrometers to 1.5 millimeters in length) almost perpendicular to the main cell axis – root hairs that absorb ...
In zoology, the epidermis is an epithelium (sheet of cells) that covers the body of a eumetazoan (animal more complex than a sponge). [1] [2] Eumetazoa have a cavity lined with a similar epithelium, the gastrodermis, which forms a boundary with the epidermis at the mouth. [2] Sponges have no epithelium, and therefore no epidermis or ...
The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis. [1] The epidermis layer provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens [2] and regulates the amount of water released from the body into the atmosphere through transepidermal water loss.

Histologic image showing a section of epidermis. Stratum spinosum labeled slightly below center. The stratum spinosum (or spinous layer/prickle cell layer) [1] is a layer of the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale. [2] This layer is composed of polyhedral keratinocytes. [3] [4] These are joined with desmosomes. [3]
For example, the expression of N-cadherin is crucial to maintaining separation of precursor neural cells from precursor epithelial cells. [2] Likewise, while the surface ectoderm becomes the epidermis , [ 6 ] the neuroectoderm is induced along the neural pathway by the notochord , which is typically positioned above it.
In plant anatomy, tissues are categorized broadly into three tissue systems: the epidermis, the ground tissue, and the vascular tissue. Epidermis – Cells forming the outer surface of the leaves and of the young plant body. Vascular tissue – The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These transport fluids and ...
Micrograph of keratinocytes, basal cells and melanocytes in the epidermis Keratinocytes (stained green) in the skin of a mouse. Keratinocytes are the primary type of cell found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. In humans, they constitute 90% of epidermal skin cells. [1]
