| Term | gut epithelium | ID (Ontology) | FBbt:00047166 (Fly Anatomy) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Definition | A tubular epithelium composed of a monolayer of cells. Different regions have different developmental origins. Both the foregut and hindgut originate from the ectoderm, whereas the midgut originates from the endoderm. A layer of cuticle lines the foregut and hindgut. In the midgut, a semipermeable chitinous layer, the peritrophic matrix, protects the epithelium from physical damage and regulates the passage of particles between the lumen and enterocytes.[ FlyBase:FBrf0222424 ] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
