What is epithelial tissue ?
Answer
Epithelial tissue is commonly known as epithelium.
An epithelium is made up of one or more layers of cell. Glands are also composed of epithelial tissue.
The epithelial tissue consists of basal surface and free surface
- The basal surface lies in contact with a delicate non cellular layer called basement tissue.
- The free surface of epithelial tissue faces either a body fluid and provide a protective covering to the exposed surface of the body parts.
Epithelial tissue are classified into two groups that is simple epithelium and compound epithelium.
Simple epithelium :
It contains of a single layer of cells resting on a basement membrane. It functions as a lining for body cavities, ducts and tubes.
Compound epithelium :
It consists of more than one layer of cells. only the cell of the deepest layer are on the basement membrane.
