stratified epithelium

If it is two or more cells thick, it is known as stratified epithelium.

The oropharynx is lined by non keratinised squamous stratified epithelium.

It is devoid of secretory glands and has cornified stratified epithelium, which resembles horny skin.

This is because, conventionally, naming of stratified epithelium is based on the type of cell in the most superficial layer.

Stratified epithelium can refer to:

HPV infection is limited to the basal cells of stratified epithelium, the only tissue in which they replicate.

This indicates that in the stratified epithelium of ectocervix, the Ki-67 is still expressed in the postmitotic cells leaving the basal layer and entering differentiation.

The stria is a somewhat stratified epithelium containing primarily three cell types (marginal, intermediate, and basal cells) and intraepithelial capillaries.

Results and discussion Mesenchymal cells The stratified epithelium of uterine ectocervix consists of four layers of epithelial cells (Fig.

Complete and restricted mesenchymal-epithelial network It is here shown that mesenchymal-epithelial interactions in stratified epithelium of ectocervix exhibit stage-specific interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells.

The medial, concave area of the lumen is lined with a pseudo stratified epithelium that has three main cell types: receptor cells, supporting cells, and basal cells.

In a stratified epithelium, such as epidermis, the cells in the basal layer adhere to the basement membrane below, to each other laterally, and to suprabasal cells apically.

Amniotes develop directly into a (typically) terrestrial form with limbs and a thick stratified epithelium, rather than first entering a feeding larval tadpole stage followed by metamorphosis as in amphibians.

The stratified epithelium of ectocervix exhibits morphologically distinct stages of differentiation with well defined interfaces, and parabasal, intermediate and superficial layers can be subdivided further (lower, mid and upper layers of parabasal and intermediate cells, and lower and upper layers of surface cells).
