CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Term:pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Accession:UBERON:0010498 term browser browse the term
Definition:A simple columnar epithelium that looks stratified but is not, because its cells are arranged with their nuclei at different levels.
Comment:[function-note] "Pseudostratified epithelia function in secretion or absorption. If a specimen looks stratified but has cilia, then it is a pseudostratified ciliated epithelium, since stratified epithelia do not have cilia."
