Abstract

Lining epithelia are tissues, formed by one or more layers of cells, separating two compartments that often contain solutions of different composition. As early as the nineteenth century it was recognized (Bonnet, 1895; Zimmer-mann, 1911) that mixing of the two solutions is avoided because neighboring epithelial cells come into close contact in a region designated as the “terminal bar,” thus impeding diffusion between cells.
