Tight Junctions
occluding junction
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
Renal epithelial cells are the cells lining the renal tubules.
Goblet cells
epithelial cells of the semiinferous tubules.
Squamous epithelial cells are a sub-type of epithelial cells (cells which line glands and the inner and outer surfaces of the body). These cells are characterized as being very thin and flat epithelial cells and populate organs such as the skin and esophagus.
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
The membranes of neighboring cells are actually fused at a tight junction, forming a seal that prevents the leakage of extracellular fluid across a layer of epithelial cells.
Epithelial cells lining the inside stomach secrete a substance which prevents the stomach acid harming the lining of the stomach.
Renal epithelial cells are the cells lining the renal tubules.
Stem cells
The shared structures between nerve, bone, epithelial, and muscle cells is that they share reproduction structures and the same blood type.
Stem Cells
The plasma membrane of a mucosal epithelial cell can form microvilli, which are finger-like projections that increase the cell's surface area for absorption. It can also have tight junctions, which are responsible for creating a barrier that prevents leakage of material between cells. Additionally, the plasma membrane may contain cilia, which are hair-like structures that help with movement and sensing in certain epithelial cells.
Goblet cells
Epithelial cells are the outer cells of the skin.
Epithelial cells have several functions. They line, protect, and form different glands. Epithelial cells have three shapes: flattened, cube, and elongated.
