The cellular architecture of a duct is specialized based on its location and function:

: Larger ducts, such as those in the breast or sweat glands, often feature stratified cuboidal or columnar epithelium to provide structural durability.

: Ensuring clear separation between luminal contents and the body's interstitium. 3. Developmental Morphogenesis

The formation of epithelial ducts involves complex mechanical and genetic processes:

: To maintain a strict barrier—such as in renal collecting ducts —epithelial cells are joined by tight junctions to prevent the leakage of fluids into surrounding tissues. 2. Key Biological Functions
