Epithelial tube, illustration C018 / 0786
Epithelial tube, illustration. Epithelial tubes form many of the vital structures of the body including blood vessels, hormone secreting and other glands, ducts and airways. The tubes can vary in size however all exhibit shared key features such as a polarised epithelium that exhibits differences in protein expression and cell architecture between the two sides

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of an epithelial tube, known as illustration C018 / 0786. Epithelial tubes play a crucial role in our bodies, forming the foundation of various vital structures such as blood vessels, glands responsible for hormone secretion, ducts, and airways. While their sizes may differ significantly, all these tubes share essential characteristics. The polarized epithelium is a defining feature of these remarkable structures. It exhibits distinct differences in protein expression and cell architecture between its two sides. This polarization allows for specialized functions to take place within the tube. In this stunning artwork by Claudia Stocker from Science Photo Library, we are presented with a tubular structure colored in shades of purple. The biological significance behind this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its representation of development and structure at a microscopic level. Histologically speaking, the epithelial tube's lumen is surrounded by apical cells on one side and basal cells on the other side. These cellular arrangements contribute to the unique functionality exhibited by each specific type of epithelial tube found throughout our bodies.
