Ch 5: Epithelium Tissues and Glandular Epithelium Flashcards

1
Q

Epithelial Tissue

A

all epithelial tissue is avascular; cells too close together for blood vessels to pass
through; diffusion of nutrients and wastes can pass through

cells rest on a basement membrane

classified by number of layers and shape of cells
