Question

Skin forms the outer covering of your body but it is considered to be an organ instead of epithelial tissue. Why?

Answer 1

Epithelial tissue can have columnar, cuboidal, or squamous cell shapes. Epithelial tissue has differently shaped bricks - or cells, that is. ... Basically, columnar cells are much higher than they are wide, cuboidal cells look like squares, and squamous cells are flat like turtles and therefore not very tall at all.
