About this document
Epithelial Cell Surface Modifications by thefrizzylifebruh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Epithelial cells have specialized surface modifications on their apical, lateral, and basal surfaces to perform functions such as absorption and attachment. The apical surface features microvilli, stereocilia, cilia, and flagella, while the lateral surface includes junctional complexes like tight junctions and desmosomes. The basal surface modifications, such as hemidesmosomes and basal infoldings, help anchor the cells to underlying tissues.
