ciliabasal
Ciliabasal refers to the epithelial cells that are situated at the base of the cilia within certain tissues, particularly in the respiratory, reproductive, and other mucous membrane-lined systems. These cells are part of the pseudostratified epithelium, a tissue layer characterized by cells of varying heights that appear to be layered but are actually connected to the basement membrane in a single layer.
The main function of ciliabasal cells is to serve as proliferative or progenitor cells, capable of differentiating
Histologically, ciliabasal cells are characterized by their basal position and relatively round or oval nuclei, with
Overall, ciliabasal cells are essential for the dynamic maintenance and regeneration of ciliated epithelial tissues, ensuring
