    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
