Q

characteristics of epithelium

A

widespread- covers most of the body, inside and out.

  • always has a free surface
  • epithelial tissues usually lack a direct blood supply
  • capable of mitosis
  • cells usually packed tight, little intercellular material
  • function in abosrption, secretion, and/or protecyion; usually highly inverted
