Giant Epithelial Cells

Giant epithelial cells (c. gigantea epithelialis) are a type of epithelial cells that are found in various organs and tissues of the human body. These cells are part of the epidermis, which covers the skin and mucous membranes.

Giant epithelial cells are large and can reach several millimeters in diameter. They are oval or round in shape and covered with a thin layer of cytoplasm. Beneath the cytoplasm is the nucleus, which contains the genetic information about the cell.

Giant epithelial cells perform many functions in the body. They protect the body from external influences such as infections and injuries, and are also involved in metabolism and tissue regeneration.

In addition, giant epithelial cells can be altered in various diseases such as skin or lung cancer. In this case, they can become malignant and begin to grow and multiply uncontrollably.

Overall, giant epithelial cells play an important role in maintaining the health of the body and protecting it from various threats. However, their changes can lead to serious illnesses, so it is important to monitor your health and undergo regular examinations with a doctor.
