Episode notes

There are layers around the end of the neuron, right? Yeah. So it's epithelia, modified epithelia,. lining the outside of the receptor of the neuron. Right. And so by the displacement of those layers or of those cells, epithelial cells can change the way that ions move through them. Which can then lead to graded potentials, and then ultimately lead into an actual potential into that neuron. Okay. So you basically highlight about one function of epithelia can be first to interact with the environment. Yes. To detect what's happening. Either in the external environment or the internal environment.Okay. We've got that. I just want to go back very

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.
