Hi everyone, Dr. Mike here.

In this video we're going to focus on one of the four tissue types of the body that we call epithelia.

Now remember epithelia its function is there to form boundaries between environments.

Now sometimes we want to be able to pass through these boundaries, sometimes we only want certain things to pass through these boundaries, sometimes we don't want anything to pass through at all.

Now other times these boundaries may facilitate movement across the surface of the boundary

so epithelia while it does form a boundary between environments it can do this a number of different ways

so let's have a look at these different ways first thing is

when we look at epithelial tissue form equals function

that means you can look at the type of epithelia

and it tells you what it does if it is a single layer

or if it is of a particular epithelial cell type in combination tells you what it can do Okay,

for example, if we look at the most basic type of epithelia, which we call simple squamous.

Simple means one layer, squamous means squished.

So here you can see we have simple squamous epithelia located in our lungs.

Now, I want you to think about it.

Form equals function.

It's squished and only one layer because it wants things to move through.

Now, if it's in the lungs, what do you think is going to move through?

Gases.

So for example, simple squamous epithelia located in the lungs is there for gas exchange.

Now we can also look at stratified squamous.

This is the squished cells of the epithelia packed on top of each other.

Now if it's like that, it's there because one, it's squished, which means it doesn't have many intracellular components.

No organelles, no mitochondria, rough or smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, anything like that, which is telling you that these cells may likely be dead

so they're there for protection it doesn't matter

if they're going to be abrased

or swiped off through due to damage okay the term we call is sloughing

if those cells disappear over time so it's there for protection okay

so multiple squished cells

which we call stratified many layers squamous we've got stratified squamous cells in the oral cavity

and we've got stratified squamous cells of our skin the difference here is

that one of them has another layer of stratified epithelia that's keratinized

that means it has a protein inside that's waterproof now that's going to be

that of our skin because we want our skin to be waterproof

so both the epithelia with our oral cavity

and our skin are stratified squamous it's just one of them is keratinized all right let's move on

and look at the tricky one that's sitting in our trachea

so our trachea is our windpipe we're bringing air in down our windpipe

and we want to bring air back out

so mainly oxygen in mainly carbon dioxide out but we know

that the air that we're breathing in isn't pure oxygen

or even just pure gas it's filled with particulates and pollutants

and things that we don't want to get down into our lungs

so what we have is columnar epithelia within our trachea now this columnar epithelia looks like it's many layers

but in actual fact it's one.

So we call this pseudo stratified.

Pseudo means fake.

It looks like it's one thing but it's not stratified.

Pseudo stratified epithelia.

In actual fact it's pseudo stratified columnar epithelia because they're shaped like columns.

They're longer than they are wider and you can also see

that they have these little hairs on the top that we call cilia.

So the epithelia we find in our trachea we call pseudo stratified columnar ciliated epithelia.

Now, why do we have this type of epithelia in our trachea?

Well, like I was saying before, what you'll find is we breathe in a whole bunch of pollutants

or particulates and crap that we just don't want to bring into our lungs.

So when you've got columnar epithelia,

that often tells you that there's a lot of intracellular components like rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

So they're doing things, they're making stuff and

so in the columnar epithelia you should think

that they're starting to make something to be secreted

and often it's going to be mucus

so we've got mucus being produced by these pseudo stratified columnar epithelia that's going to exude to the surface

and the cilia these little hairs they capture and move things across

so we've got pseudo stratified columnar ciliated epithelia in our trachea

because the mucus captures pollutants the cilia takes it

and what it does is it throws it up up up up up the trachea

so we can cough it out

if you're a smoker it actually kills off the cilia which means the mucus may capture the pollutants and particulates,

but it falls down into their lungs and then what does a smoker do every single morning?

They will cough and cough and cough to bring up that gunk.

All right, let's move on down to the small intestines.

Now the small intestines have columnar epithelia as well, so straight away you should think if it's columnar it's gonna be producing stuff,

and it does, it produces mucus and many other different types of enzymes, for example, and it also has these little things on top

that look like the cilia

but in actual fact they look like fingertip like projections this is called villi

and micro villi okay fingertip like projections

and what they do is they increase the surface area of the epithelia

so that more things can be absorbed so the columnar epithelia with micro villi

and villi on top is there to produce mucus

and secrete it in and other enzymes as well

and also to absorb the nutrients in the small intestines all right let's look at two others

that of the kidneys the kidneys specifically the nephron now the

nephron is going to be these convoluted tubules within the kidneys

that can selectively absorb or reabsorb okay absorb

or reabsorb components from what's been filtered in the kidneys and can throw it back into the blood.

It can decide, do I want to pee this out or do I want to throw it back into the blood?

And so what we have, a cuboidal or simple cuboidal epithelia.

So it's one layer, so we want things to be able to go through.

It's cuboidal because it wants things to come in

and may process it a little bit and throw it back out or vice versa.

So the nephron of the kidneys contains simple cuboidal epithelia.

Now the last one I want to talk about is that of the bladder.

Now the bladder needs to distend and snap back into place.

Distend, snap back into place.

So it has what we call transitional epithelia, that means it may be cuboidal, it may be columnar, it may be squamous,

so that when it stretches the tissue doesn't get damaged.

If there's many different types it means it can change its shape quite easily.

Stretch it, snap it back into place.

So this is a quick run through of the epithelial tissue.

FOR YOU

你能學到什麼

這段影片不僅能幫助你瞭解上皮組織的知識，還能提升雅思口語練習中關鍵的表達技能。首先，你會學會如何用清晰的邏輯解釋複雜概念，比如通過“形態決定功能”這一核心原則，將上皮組織的結構與作用一一對應。其次，你能掌握專業術語的準確發音與用法，像“simple squamous”（單層扁平上皮）、“keratinized”（角化）等，這對學術類口語話題尤為重要。此外，影片中 Dr. Mike 循序漸進的講解方式，也能讓你學會如何用自然的節奏組織長段表達，避免口語中的卡頓。

注意這些發音現象

在影片對話中，你會聽到不少連讀和弱讀現象，這是影子跟讀（shadow speech）練習的好素材。比如“epithelia its function”中，“epithelia”與“its”之間有輕微的連讀，形成“epithelia's”的錯覺；“doesn't have many”中，“doesn't”的尾音/t/弱讀，幾乎聽不到。另外，“pseudo stratified”中的“pseudo”發音為/ˈsuːdəʊ/，其中的/əʊ/音要發得飽滿，而“stratified”的重音在第一個音節，這些細節都需要在跟讀時注意。

像母語者一樣表達

要模仿影片中說話者的節奏和重音，關鍵在於抓住核心資訊的強調方式。比如 Dr. Mike 在解釋“形態決定功能”時，會加重“form”和“function”的發音，同時放慢語速。在描述不同上皮組織時，他會在“simple”“stratified”“pseudo”等關鍵詞上停頓，給聽眾留出理解的時間。進行英語影子跟讀時，可先逐句模仿，注意重音和停頓，再逐漸加快速度。通過這樣的練習，你能逐漸掌握學術口語的表達節奏，讓自己的發言更具說服力。此外，利用專業的shadowing site進行反覆練習，能有效提升你的聽力理解和口語輸出能力，為雅思口語考試打下堅實基礎。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	be abrased · are stratified · be secreted
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	squished, which means · that, which is · cilia which means

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
