  2. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudostratified_columnar...

    Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is the type of respiratory epithelium found in the linings of the trachea as well as upper respiratory tract, which allows filtering and humidification of incoming air. [1] Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia are located in the prostate [2] and membranous part of male vas deferens.

  4. Neuroectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroectoderm

    Histologically, these cells are classified as pseudostratified columnar cells. [ 1 ] After recruitment from the ectoderm, the neuroectoderm undergoes three stages of development: transformation into the neural plate , transformation into the neural groove (with associated neural folds ), and transformation into the neural tube .

  5. 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 ...

  6. Epiblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiblast

    At this stage, both human and mouse epiblasts consist of a pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Shortly after, the human epiblast will assume a disc shape while the amniotic cavity forms. The epiblast cells adjacent to the trophoblast are specified to become amnion cells. The mouse epiblast transitions from a rosette structure to a cup.

    Their epithelium can be simple cuboidal or simple columnar. [10] Striated ducts are part of the intralobular ducts. They are found in the submandibular gland, [11] [12] sublingual duct, and the parotid gland, but are more developed in the parotid gland. [13] They are not present in pancreas.

  8. Intestinal metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_metaplasia

    Intestinal metaplasia is the transformation of epithelium (usually of the stomach or the esophagus) into a type of epithelium resembling that found in the intestine.In the esophagus, this is called Barrett's esophagus.

  9. 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 .
