Epithelia tissue covers the body surfaces, lines body cavities, forms external and internal linings of many organs, and constitutes glands. It has many different forms for its many functions: protection, secretion, excretion, absorption, filtration, and sensation. Each type of epithelial tissue will be outlined in detail.

Write the location, structure and function of following epithelial tissues:a Squamous epitheliumb Stratified epitheliumc Glandular epitheliumd Columnar epitheliume Ciliated epitheliumf Cuboidal epithelium

Histology! ♦ Muscle tissue is highly cellular, well-vascularized tissue that is responsible for most types of body movement♦ Connective tissue protects, supports and binds together different parts of the body (e.g., fat, ligaments, tendons, fascia)♦ Epithelial tissue is composed of sheets of cells that cover a body surface or line a body cavity (e.g., skin, inner and/or outer lining of the organs, etc.)♦ Nervous tissue consists of neurons and supporting cells

Epithelial Tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the body’s outer surface and lines the internal closed cavities (including blood vessels) and body tubes that communicate with the exterior (gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts). Epithelium also forms the secretory portion of glands and their ducts. Origin and Characteristics Epithelial tissue is derived from all three embryonic layers. Most epithelia of the skin, mouth, nose, and anus are derived from the ectoderm. Linings of…
