Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue
- Forms the protective covering and inner lining of the body and organs
- First to evolve during evolution and formed during embryonic development
- Develops from the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm of the embryo
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues
- Can be single-layered or multi-layered
- Has the power to regenerate
- Has considerable capacity for repair after damage
- Plasma membrane of these cells is specialized into:
- Flagella
- Cilia
- Microvilli
