Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue Characteristics
- Epithelial tissue is composed of loosely arranged cells with abundant intercellular spaces.
- Epithelial tissue lacks polarity, meaning it does not have a specific orientation or direction.
- Epithelial tissue has a high power of regeneration, allowing it to repair and replace damaged cells.
Epithelial Tissue Structure and Function
- Epithelial tissue is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels, and receives nourishment through diffusion from the underlying connective tissue.
- This unique structure allows epithelial tissue to function without a direct blood supply.
Epithelial Tissue Origin
- Epithelial tissue originates only from the ectodermal and endodermal embryonic germ layers.
- This restricted origin is a key characteristic of epithelial tissue development.
