Answer 2

Heyya !


• Epithelial Tissues

=> They form barriers to keep the different body systems or different organ systems separate.

=> The skin, the lining of the mouth, the lining of blood vessels, lung alveoli and kidney tubules are all made up of epithelial tissues

=> The cells of an epithelial tissue are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet.

=> The cells have only a small amount of cementing material between them and almost no intercellular spaces.

=> The epithelium is usually separated from the underlying tissue by an extracellular fibrous basement membrane.

=> Since the epithelium covers the body and all organs, all particles entering or leaving the body and the organs pass through it.

=> Therefore, epithelial cells are an important media for the transportation of substances into and out of the body.
