1. Epithelial Tissue
General Characteristics:
Found throughout the body, covers all body surfaces both inside and out.
Main glandular tissue.
Attached to underlying connective tissue by non-cellular nonliving basement membrane.

Epithelial Tissue (cont…) Usually has no vascular tissue –
blood supply Cells reproduce rapidly (rapid healing).
Cells tightly packed together

EpithelialFunctions: Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, sensory perception
Six Specific types of epithelial tissue – categorized based on the shape of the cells and the layers of cells. ( * We won’t distinguish glandular epithelium because it is of the cuboidal or columnar type.)
