Cells are tightly packed
Small amount of cementing material is present between cells
Epithelial cell lining is always single layered
Almost no intercellular spaces

Answer 1

Almost no intercellular spaces

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Epithelial Tissue:

There are many epithelial tissues in the human body. They make up the majority of the tissue in glands, line body cavities and hollow organs, and cover all of the body's surfaces. Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception are just a few of the many tasks they carry out.

• In epithelial tissue, there is relatively little intercellular matrix and the cells are closely packed together.
• The cells have one free surface that is not in contact with other cells because the tissues create covers and linings.
• A non-cellular basement membrane connects the cells to the connective tissue underneath the free surface.
• The epithelium and connective tissue cells release a mixture of proteins and carbohydrates that make up this membrane.
• Squamous, cuboidal, or columnar epithelial cells can be organized in a single layer or in several layers

Almost no intercellular spaces is incorrect regarding epithelial tissue.
