What is Epithelial Tissue: Structure and Functions about?
Epithelial tissue covers and lines body surfaces and cavities. It has several key functions including protection, absorption, secretion, and sensory reception. Epithelial tissue is classified based on the number of cell layers (simple vs stratified) and the shape of surface cells (squamous, cuboidal, columnar). Surface cells may have specializations like microvilli, stereocilia, or cilia that increase absorption area or enable movement.
