Episode notes

When we specifically refer to the, the basal membrane, I guess, that's the base of. So the very bottom or most deep epithelial layer of cells. That's and that would then be in continuation with connected tissue now. Right? If it's already layers. Yeah. But when you talk about mechanoreceptors, but also taste receptors, light receptors. What else could you have? I'm just trying to think of all the special Chemical. These are the epithelium as well. You might have certain pressure receptors in your skin that pick up vibration or displacement. They are like, let's say, onion, layers of onions, which have epithelium in them

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.
