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.
