The 23 pages that link to Epithelium, each with the reason it gives.

• KeratinNarrower topic: Keratin’s cellular filaments are characteristic structural elements of epithelial tissues.

• EpidermisNarrower topic: The epidermis is a specialized stratified epithelium.

• Connective tissueCompared with: Unlike connective tissue, epithelium has little extracellular matrix between its cells.

• HistologyBroader topic: Its layered arrangements and cell shapes are central patterns in tissue sections.

• EndotheliumCompared with: Endothelium is often distinguished from other epithelia by its vascular location and specialized functions.

• Basement membraneNarrower topic: Basement membranes commonly underlie and organize epithelial sheets.

• Human papillomavirusNarrower topic: HPV infects epithelial cells in skin and mucous membranes.

• Tissue (biology)Broader topic: It is one of the four major tissue types in animals.

• Epithelial–mesenchymal transitionNarrower topic: EMT begins from an epithelial identity characterized by cohesion and organized polarity.

• Mucous membraneNarrower topic: Mucous membranes are epithelial linings supported by underlying connective tissue.

• Cell adhesionRelated: Adhesion maintains epithelial sheets and their selective barriers.

• Gastrovascular cavityRelated: The cavity’s lining is epithelial tissue specialized for digestion and absorption.

• Vitamin A deficiencyNarrower topic: Vitamin A supports the differentiation and maintenance of these tissue barriers.

• KeratinizationNarrower topic: Keratinization is a maturation process of epithelial cells.

• DysplasiaRelated: Many clinically important dysplasias arise in epithelial tissues.

• Intermediate filamentRelated: Keratin intermediate filaments reinforce epithelia exposed to friction and stretching.

• Genital wartsRelated: HPV infects epithelial cells, where wart-producing changes arise.

• Human papillomavirus infectionRelated: HPV infects epithelial cells in skin and mucosal surfaces.

• LumenRelated: Epithelial cells often form the boundary between a lumen and surrounding tissue.

• Nervous tissueCompared with: Epithelia chiefly form barriers and linings rather than conduct neuronal signals.

• MuscleCompared with: Unlike muscle, its main roles are barrier formation, secretion, and absorption.

• Imaginal discNarrower topic: Most imaginal discs begin as epithelial sacs within the larva.

• Acinar cellsNarrower topic: Acinar cells are specialized epithelial cells organized into glandular tissue.
