Answer:
Epithelial tissue differs from connective tissue and supporting tissue by the presence of more epithelial cells.
Explanation:
- The epithelial tissue is composed of epithelial cells and a small amount of extracellular matrix. The connective tissue is composed of different cells and a larger amount of extracellular matrix. The cells of the epithelial tissue are arranged cellular sheets either in single or multiple layers.
- Epithelial cells are far more closely packed than the cells of connective tissues.
- It's found throughout your body, and it supports organs and blood vessels and links epithelial tissues to the muscles underneath. Dense, or fibrous, connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments, which connect muscles to bones and bones to each other, respectively.
- Since epithelial tissues are avascular, they depend on the blood vessels in connective tissues for oxygen, nutrient, and waste disposal.
- Epithelial tissues are not enclosed by blood capillaries while in connective tissue, cells are enclosed by blood capillaries. Epithelial tissues lie above the basement membrane; connective tissues lie below basement membrane, called lamina propia.
