Intestinal Lining

Molecular classification
Epithelial Tissue, Biological Barrier
01

Overview

The intestinal lining is a single-layered epithelium that forms a protective barrier within the gut. It selectively absorbs nutrients while preventing the passage of harmful substances. Its integrity is crucial for maintaining homeostasis, and disruption can lead to various diseases.

02

Mechanism of action

The intestinal lining itself doesn't have a mechanism of action. Drugs interact with its components (e.g., epithelial cells, tight junctions, immune cells in the lamina propria) or aim to protect/repair it.
