Epithelio

Epithelio (o in latin epithelium) es texito membranar componite de cellulas que coperi e protege le exterior e interior superficies de corpore. Le epithelio fodera le vaso sanguinee e organos cave, como stomacho e renes. Le epiderme, le exterior parte de pelle, es le epithelio que coperi de corpore. Omne glandulas consiste de cellulas epithelial. In altere regiones, le epithelio excreta sudor, oleo, cera o muco.  

Functiones de cellulas epithelial es: secretion, absorption selective, protection, transportation transcellular, sensante. Le membranas epithelial non ha vaso sanguinee, ergo illos debe reciper nutrimento via diffusion de substantias ab texito connective per basamento membranal.Eurell, ed. 2006: 18. Freshney 2002: 3.
