An anchoring junction where cadherins anchor lateral surfaces of adjacent cells together.

Composed of basal lamina that attaches epithelium to deeper reticular lamina.

The top layers of these cells are dead and they function as dry protection against abrasion.

The secretions of endocrine glands.

A structure made up of one or more cells modified to synthesize and secrete chemical substances.

An intercellular passageway that allows ions to pass between adjacent cells.

The free space of an epithelial cell.

Tall, narrow apical cells with cilia. One lay of cells but they may appear to have more than one layers.

Type of glandular secretion where the cell is destroyed as it releases its product.

Gland with duct that opens directly or indirectly to external environment.

A structure that separates cells into apical and basal compartments.

A specialized intercellular connection between epithelial cell membranes.

Epithelium with one layer of box shaped cells, found lining the renal tubules.

Mucous, sweat, saliva and breast milk.

These glands produce watery, enzyme rich secretions.

These junctions influence the shape and folding on the epithelial tissue.

The exposed surface of an epithelial cell.

Epithelium that functions for moist protection against abrasion; found lining the human oral cavity and esophagus.

Secretion where the cell itself remains intact and the contents are released through exocytosis.

Ductless gland that secretes into surrounding tissue and fluid.

A cell junction that helps stabilize epithelial tissue.

This structure provides an attachment site for epithelium, separating it from underlying connective tissue.

This type of Epithelium is found in the human urinary system and functions to provide stretching and distension.

Secretion where the apical portion of the cell is released as well.

Glands that produce secretion rich in glycoprotein mucin.
