Pap smear : A Pap smear (also called a Pap test) is a test that checks for abnormal epithelial cells in the cervix that are cancerous or have the potential to become cancerous.

Epithelium forms continuous sheets of cells that line internal surfaces and cover the external surface of the body. It is a selective barrier that protects tissues and is often involved in absorption or secretion.

2024年9月2日 · Find out what you need to know about the epithelium, including where epithelial cells are located in your body and how they affect your health.

2025年1月27日 · Epithelial tissue acts as a boundary layer, protecting underlying tissues, regulating permeability, and facilitating absorption, secretion, and excretion. Its structure and function make it essential for maintaining homeostasis and supporting organ systems.

2019年10月4日 · Epithelial tissues are thin tissues that cover all the exposed surfaces of the body.

Epithelial tissues provide the body’s first line of protection from physical, chemical, and biological damage. The cells of an epithelium act as gatekeepers of the body, controlling permeability by allowing selective transfer of materials across its surface. All substances that enter the body must cross an epithelium.

2023年2月17日 · Understanding the appearance of normal, healthy epithelial cells is essential to identify when there is pathology present in a tissue specimen. Light microscopy (LM) is typically used to visualize stained epithelial cells.

ATCC offers human primary epithelial cells from numerous tissues, including mammary, bronchial, tracheal, small airway, corneal (HCEp), prostate, vaginal, cervical, and renal tissues.

It covers body surfaces and lines hollow organs, body cavities, and ducts. It also forms glands. It protects the underlying tissue from friction and injury. It secret certain chemical substances that are utilized by the body. On the basal side, the epithelial cells are supported by a basement membrane called as basal lamina.

Skin has three layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The outer region is the epidermis, which is the epithelium that forms the surface of the skin. The middle region is the dermis, which contains dense connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.
