There are different types of epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissue is composed of cells laid together in sheets with the cells tightly connected to one another. Epithelium ˌ ɛ p ɪ ˈ θ iː l i ə m is one of the four basic types of animal tissue along with connective tissue muscle tissue and nervous tissue it is a thin continuous protective layer of cells epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs.
Let us have a glimpse of each type of animal tissue in detail.
Epithelial layers are avascular but innervated. Epithelial layers are avascular but innervated. Epithelial cells have two surfaces that differ in both structure and function. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines organs vessels blood and lymph and cavities epithelial cells form the thin layer of cells known as the endothelium which is contiguous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain lungs skin and heart the free surface of epithelial tissue is usually exposed to fluid or the air while the.
