The Adhesions of Epithelial Cells

  • Chapter
Cellular and Molecular Control of Direct Cell Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 99))

Abstract

Epithelia are tissues which line or cover the cavities and surfaces of the bodies of animals. They consist of single or stratified sheets of cells which are applied to be underlying tissue on one face, the basal surface, and have a free edge adjacent to a luminal space on the other face, the apical surface. All epithelia thus have a structural apico-basal polarity which is always of great functional importance. For example, in absorptive epithelia such as that of the small intestine, absorption takes place at the apical surface of the cells and the absorbed material is transported basally. In protective epithelia such as the epidermis, the apical surface must be strong in order to resist friction and pressure, while the basal region of the epithelium must generate new cells to replace the stressed apical tissue.
