Epithelial Cell Anatomy

Illustration of epithelial cell anatomy. Multiple light blue epithelial cells form a ring around an open space labeled "Lumen." A magnified view in a pink circle shows a single cell with its key components including the apical surface with microvilli, and intracellular organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondrion, and Golgi apparatus. The base is labeled as the basolateral surface.

Digital illustration of an epithelial cell layer in a tubular arrangement. Light blue polygonal cells are arranged around a central white space, labeled “Lumen.” One cell is magnified within a pale pink circle, revealing internal details. The apical surface has red/pink microvilli. Organelles are rendered in various shades of blue line art. Text labels identify the “Apical surface” and “Basolateral surface.” The background is plain white.
