Parent topics
- Histology [r]: The study of the structure and function of biological tissues. [e]
Subtopics
- Cardiovascular system [r]: The heart and the blood vessels by which blood is pumped and circulated through the body. [e]
- Vascular endothelium [r]: Single pavement layer of epithelial cells which line the luminal surface of the entire cardiovascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. [e]
- Tunica intima [r]: The innermost coat of blood vessels, consisting of a thin lining of epithelial cells longitudinally oriented and continuous with the endothelium of capillaries on the one hand and the endocardium of the heart on the other [e]
- Interstitium [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Lumen (cardiovacular) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Vascular endothelium [r]: Single pavement layer of epithelial cells which line the luminal surface of the entire cardiovascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. [e]
- Lymphatic epithelium [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Corneal epithelium [r]: Add brief definition or description
Diseases of epithelial cells
- Carcinoma [r]: Malignant tumors derived from epithelial cells; the most common class of cancer, including the common forms of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer in humans, not a general term for cancer but frequently and incorrectly used as such [e]
- Squamous cell carcinoma [r]: A carcinoma derived from stratified squamous epithelial cells. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelial cells are normally present. [e]
- Adenocarcinoma [r]: A malignant epithelial tumor with a glandular organization. [e]
- Respiratory system [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Gastrointestinal system [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Urogenital system [r]: Applicable to both biological sexes, the set of organs involved in sexual reproduction and the excretion of urine [e]
- Cancer in cats [r]: The leading cause of death in geriatric domestic cats, this topic includes both metastatic and locally invasive neoplasia [e]
