Episode notes

I mean, you forget what the newborn days were like. It's tiring. You get used to a two year old. And they're pooing maybe. Well, is that poo in? They're changing nappies every four hours each. This one's like every hour and a bit. Yeah. The poo's not great though. No, doesn't smell though. That's a good thing. Until the gut flora comes in properly and then give it a month and I think it's just milk. I think the milk is really smell. Once you get to solids...that's when the gut flora really starts to kick in too. So well, congratulations.

One of the four tissue types of the body, epithelia lines and protects our organs from the external and internal environment. In this episode, Dr Matt & Dr Mike explain how the different shape and layers of epithelia tell you what function it performs (form = functions) and highlight examples in the body where you can find each type. They also explore cancer, metaplasia, dysplasia, and Dr Matt's mums skin cancer diagnosis and surgery.
