How do Polygonal Cells Adapt to Their Environment?
Polygonal cells exhibit various adaptations to their environment. In the liver, hepatocytes have numerous microvilli on their surface to increase surface area for absorption and secretion. Keratinocytes in the skin undergo a process called keratinization, where they become filled with keratin protein and form a tough, protective outer layer. These adaptations enhance the cells' ability to perform their specific functions effectively.
