The cell parts of an epithelial cell include; apical and basal regions and a basement membrane (basal lamina). Epithelial cells are held together by desmosomes, adherens, tight junctions and gap junctions.

What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?

The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.


Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?

Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.


An epithelial cell can be divided into two functional regions They are the surface and the surface?

An epithelial cell can be divided into two functional regions: the apical surface, which faces the external environment or a body cavity, and the basolateral surface, which interacts with neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix. These regions are important for different functions such as absorption, secretion, and cell-cell communication.


Which of these is not a type of epithelial cell Glial Squamous Columnar or Cuboidal?

Glial cells are not a type of epithelial cell. Glial cells are a type of support cell in the nervous system, while squamous, columnar, and cuboidal cells are types of epithelial cells that line surfaces and cavities in the body.


What structure observe in onion epidermal cells are not present in human epithelial cells?

The structure of onion epidermal cells refers to the arrangement of tissues in this cells. You can find the structure of onion epidermal cells online athttp://biology.touchspin.com/onion_epidermis.php. The structures observed in an onion epidermal cell, which are not present in the human epithelial cells are cell wall, central vacuole and vacuolar membrane.

How many proteins in one human epithelial cell?

A typical human epithelial cell can contain thousands of different proteins, with estimates ranging from around 10,000 to 15,000 proteins based on gene expression studies and proteomic analyses. The specific types and quantities of proteins present can vary depending on the cell's function and stage in the cell cycle.

Why would polarity be important to an epithelium?

Polarity in epithelial cells is important for maintaining the barrier function of epithelial tissues. It helps in the selective transport of molecules and ions across the epithelium and in separating the different compartments of the cell. Additionally, epithelial cell polarity is crucial for cell-cell communication and signaling within tissues.


How do human epithelial cells and elodea cells different?

First of all elodea cells are plant cells while epithelial cells are animal. Which means elodea has: a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells: round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.


Is a Ciliated Epithelial Cell a plant cell?

no


Where is an epithelial cell found in the human body?

Epithelial cells can be found covering the surfaces of organs, glands, and tissues throughout the body. They form protective barriers and linings, such as the skin, inner lining of the digestive tract, and the respiratory system.


What are the the major groups of cell types the human body?

There are three types of embryonic cells; endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. In the human body there are many different types of cells, more than two. They are grouped into tissue types. We have four different tissues; connective, nervous, muscular, and epithelial. The two major groups of cell types in the human body are somatic cells and gamete cells.
