I work with scaffolds, I have understand than in the urethra there are endothelial cells. So, this types of cells have the same characteristics than of the whole human body? Thanks in advance!
The urethra has epithelial cells, not endothelial cells. Epithelial cells line the lumenal surface of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the kidney tubules and urinary tract, gall bladder etc. Endothelial cells are often described as specialized epithelia, but the line the entire lumenal surface of the cardiovascular system, I.e. all blood vessels and the heart. The two cells share some similarities, but essentially are completely different.
The urethra surface consist of transitional epithelium cells which lined of proximal 2/3rds and other 1/3rd - squamous epithelium cells. Epithelium cells, that line of cavities internal surfaces and vessels play a different role and have a different structure principally
