Answer:

Change occur in form and structure of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure and shape of the cell change because the function of leg is different from the lungs. In the lungs the epithelial lung cell is responsible for the detection and protection of the cells against pathogen while on the other hand, the leg has the function to move an individual from one place to another so due to difference in function, the cells of both regions have different shape and structure of the cell and the epithelial lung cell will be changed into a leg muscle cell.
