Membranous epithelium is a type of tissue that consists of a single layer of epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane. It is mainly found lining body cavities and organs, where it serves a protective and absorptive function. Examples of membranous epithelium include the lining of the respiratory tract and the lining of blood vessels.
Membranous epithelium serves several key functions, including protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. It forms a barrier that protects underlying tissues from mechanical injury, pathogens, and chemical exposure. Additionally, certain types of membranous epithelium, such as those lining the intestines, facilitate the absorption of nutrients, while others, like glandular epithelium, are involved in the secretion of hormones and enzymes. Furthermore, it plays a role in sensory perception in specialized areas, such as the skin and mucous membranes.
It is a membranous organ in the inner ear.
It is single membranous organell.It is made up flat membranous plates and tubules.Found in only eukaryotes.
The secretory epithelium is a part of the skin and associated with the sweat glands.
No. The term squamous means flat like a floor tile. Epithelium means a covering or lining with a free edge. Renal epithelium is simple epithelium and these cells are like cubes.
An adenoepithelioma is a glandular epithelioma, a tumour which originates in the epithelium - membranous tissue - of the gland.
