Abstract
None:
A clinical classification, appropriate to its time, should reflect updated views on diseases, etiopathogenetic mechanisms, and imply subsequent areas of diagnostic and therapeutic measures. In this work we propose a clinical classification of keratitis and corneal erosions, and provide definitions of the main pathological processes accompanying corneal inflammation.

01:29Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Stratified Epithelium
12.4K
Stratified epithelium consists of several stacked layers of cells. They provide the durability to withstand constant physical and chemical attacks. Stratified epithelium is named after the shape of the most apical layer of cells. Stratified squamous epithelium is the most common type found in the human body. In this tissue, the apical cells are squamous, whereas the basal layer contains either columnar or cuboidal cells. The basal cells divide to form new daughter cells, which gradually become...

01:22Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview
19.6K
Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed. Cell shapes can be squamous (flattened and thin), cuboidal (square-like, as wide as it is tall), or columnar (rectangular, taller than it is wide). Additionally, the nucleus shape helps identify the type of epithelial cells. Squamous cells have flattened disc-shaped nuclei, cuboidal cells have spherical nuclei, and columnar cells have elongated nuclei.
