Epithelial Tissue

Epithelial Tissue

by Geoffrey Meyer, PhD

Epithelial tissue can occur nearly anywhere that the body is exposed to exogenous toxins (e.g., the GI tract, respiratory tract, urinary system, and skin). It consists of dense sheets of tightly bound cells that form a barrier in the epithelium, which serves as a barrier against pathogens and harmful secretory products and functions, thereby helping to maintain homeostasis. Since epithelial cells are prevalent throughout the body, their function changes based on their location (e.g., the protective function of skin epithelium compared to the absorptive and secretory properties of gut epithelium). This course discusses the basics of epithelial tissue and includes a deeper dive into the organs composed of it.

Good but one star is less, this is because professor doesn't use cursor so it little bit difficult to understand
