Q

Name the special characteristics of epithelia and describe them

A

SCRAPS
- Specialized contacts: cells joined by special junctions
- Cellularity: cells separated by minimal extracellular material
- Regeneration: lost cells are quickly replaced by cell division
- Avascular, but innervated: epithelial cells receive nutrients from underlying connective tissue
- Polarity: cell regions of the apical surface differ from the basal surface
- Support by connective tissue
