Pseudostratified epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that at first glance appears to be stratified, but is actually only a single layer of cells. In such instances, a number of different types of epithelium may be identified, such as stratified and transitional epithelium. The number of lymphocytes often increases with age and exposure to particulates or pathogens.

Only 60 cases have been reported, with cyst sizes ranging from 0.4 to 9.0 cm. (A) Oblique cross section of trachea demonstrates submucosal glands (arrows) preferentially along the ventrilateral tracheal wall and preferentially within the intercartilaginous space. These cysts are found more commonly in men and occur more frequently in the left lobe.
Caitlin Kenney Last Modified Date: July 12, 2020 . The simple columnar epithelium consists of longitudinal-oval cells with a uniform nucleus, aligned in a row mostly located at the base of the cell.

This progressively enlarging sellar (i.e., within the sella turcica) cyst (This rare, benign condition presents as a solitary hepatic cyst lined with ciliated, pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium surrounded by subepithelial connective tissue, a smooth muscle layer, and an outer fibrous capsule.

In patients with prolonged cholestasis, biliary cysts can form. Fibroelastic tissue and smooth muscle bundles that run transversely to and from the trachealis muscle bridge the posterior ends of the U-shaped cartilage rings. Histologically, these consist of hyaline cartilage surrounded by a thin fibrous membrane, the perichondrium. Unique to the nasal cavity, the olfactory neuroepithelium consists of The underlying lamina propria is poorly vascularized, and contains unmyelinated nerve bundles of the olfactory nerve and myelinated fibers of the trigeminal nerve, as well as serous-secreting Bowman’s glands. Both simple and pseudostratified columnar epithelia are heterogeneous epithelia because they include additional types of cells interspersed among the epithelial cells. Rodents originating from SPF facilities have very few lymphocytes in the lamina propria. In humans, the submucosa contains numerous tightly packed seromucinous glands; thus, the number of mucus-producing cells found in major airways differs substantially between the two species.Below the submucosa are the tracheal cartilaginous rings. Basal cells are present in the trachea, situated along the lamina propria but not extending to the luminal surface. Pseudostratified In some columnar epithelia, the cells become so crowded that some of the nuclei become displaced and several rows of nuclei appear in sections of the cell sheet, even though each cell is still attached to the basement membrane. These cells are the only postembryonic neuronal cells able to regenerate.Two types of basal cells rest on the basement membrane: true basal cells similar to those found in respiratory epithelium and lightly staining undifferentiated basal cells that act as stem cells for the neuronal and sustentacular cells.The underlying lamina propria is less vascular than that subjacent to the respiratory epithelium. The glands provide fresh solvent for odorant substances, and a mucous covering for the epithelium.Located posterior to the nasal and oral cavity and above the esophagus and larynx is the pharynx (The nasopharynx is located posterior to the nasal cavity which is lined by The oropharynx lies behind the oral cavity to the level of the hyoid bone and is lined by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium. This condition is most commonly associated with anabolic steroid use. The cysts fill with mucin but are typically microscopic or less than a few millimeters in diameter, and they do not seem to interfere with pituitary function. Blood-filled cysts can develop as a result of trauma, most commonly after a liver biopsy. The latter two are comprised of only one layer of columnar epithelial cells.

Duodenal duplication cysts, extremely rare embryologic abnormalities involving duplication of the duodenal lumen, can present as cystic lesions in the hepatic parenchyma.The nasal mucosa facilitates a relatively high level of drug absorption per unit area. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
