Mesothelial Cell

Epithelial cells that form the mesothelium, the lining of the serous cavities (e.g., pleural, peritoneal, pericardial), providing a smooth, non-adhesive surface and involved in fluid transport.

Key Functions:

• Forms a protective and lubricating lining for body cavities.
• Facilitates movement of organs within cavities.
• Involved in fluid transport and immune responses.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Serous Cavities (lines)
• Pleural Cavity (lines)
• Peritoneal Cavity (lines)
• Pericardial Cavity (lines)
