What are the four essential functions of epithelial tissue?
General functions of epithelial tissue include a barrier (protection of tissues from radiation, desiccation, invasion by pathogens and toxins), secretion (substance release of hormones, sweat, mucus, and enzymes) and absorption (substance intake).
What is epithelial tissue and its types?
Epithelia can also be classified based on the shape of the cells, giving rise to three types: Squamous epithelial tissue: consists of extremely thin cells that resemble the scales of a fish Cuboidal epithelial tissue: contains cells that appear square in cross-section but are marginally longer than they are wide Columnar epithelial tissue: consists of elongated cell involved in absorption of materials
How do you identify epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissues are identified by both the number of layers and the shape of the cells in the upper layers. There are eight basic types of epithelium: six of them are identified based on both the number of cells and their shape; two of them are named by the type of cell (squamous) found in them.
Which three characteristics describe epithelial tissue?
Epithelial tissue is responsible for protecting the body, secretion and excretion, absorption and allowing the organism to sense the outside world. There are three basic types of epithelial cells: squamous, cuboidal and columnar. Epithelial cells can come in sheets of one or more layers.
