Difference between Anatomy and Epithelium

Anatomy vs. Epithelium

Anatomy (Greek anatomē, “dissection”) is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. Epithelium is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

Similarities between Anatomy and Epithelium

Anatomy and Epithelium have 38 things in common (in Unionpedia): Animal, Basement membrane, Blastula, Blood vessel, Cell nucleus, Chitin, Cilium, Connective tissue, Cuticle, Ectoderm, Endoderm, Epidermis, Epithelium, Extracellular matrix, Gastrointestinal tract, Germ layer, Gland, Heart, Inner ear, Keratin, Lung, Mammary gland, Mesoderm, Microvillus, Motility, Muscle tissue, Nerve, Nervous tissue, Organ (anatomy), Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, ..., Respiratory tract, Sex organ, Simple cuboidal epithelium, Skin, Spinal cord, Sweat gland, Tissue (biology), Triploblasty.

Basement membrane

The basement membrane is a thin, fibrous, extracellular matrix of tissue that separates the lining of an internal or external body surface from underlying connective tissue in metazoans.

Blastula

The blastula (from Greek βλαστός (blastos), meaning "sprout") is a hollow sphere of cells, referred to as blastomeres, surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoele formed during an early stage of embryonic development in animals.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.
