tissue part 3 Flashcards
function of epithelia in excretion
disposal of nitrogenous waste by sweating
function of epithelia as stimulus reception
chemostatic sensations: olfaction and gustation
proliferation and turnover rates of epithelia
they are short-lived typically, days to weeks. dead or damaged are replaced by mitosis of younger epithelial cells
the epithelia that is not commonly found in the body

When a number of secretory cells combine to form an organ, the resulting tissue is referred
