Question

Name any four important functions of epithelial tissue and provide at least one example of a tissue that exemplifies each function

Answer 1

So basically there are 2 types of epithelial tissue
1. Simple epithelium
2. Compound epithelium
Basic function of epithelial tissue are
To provide inner lining
For absorption
For secretion
( squamous for blood vessels,cuboidal for endocrine glands,columnar for oviduct,ciliated for bronchi ,pseudostartified for large bronchi,glandular for secretion cells)
2. Compound epithelium
To provide protection (transitional and keratinized

Answer 2

Functions of Epithelial Tissue

Explanation:

• Functions of epithelial cells include protection, transcellular transport, sensing,selective absorption,secretion and transcellular transport
• The layers of epithelial cell contain no veins, so they should get sustenance by means of dissemination of substances from the fundamental connective tissue, through the basement membrane
• They perform a variety of functions that protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception The cells in epithelial tissue are tightly packed together with very little intercellular matrix
