📖 1. Epithelial Characteristics

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Epithelial Tissue: A layer of cells covering body surfaces, lining cavities, and forming glands, characterized by tightly packed cells with minimal extracellular matrix.
  • Cellularity: Epithelial tissues consist almost entirely of cells with very little intercellular substance.
  • Polarity: Epithelial cells exhibit structural and functional differences between their apical (top) and basal (bottom) surfaces, essential for their functions.
  • Avascularity: Epithelial tissues lack blood vessels; nutrients are obtained through diffusion from underlying connective tissues.
  • Regenerative Capacity: Epithelial cells have a high rate of renewal, allowing quick repair after injury.
  • Specialized Structures: Includes microvilli (for absorption), cilia (for movement), and cell junctions (for adhesion and communication).
