increased food supplyEpithelial Tissue Function. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of the body and lines organs, vessels (blood and lymph), and cavities. Epithelial cells form the thin layer of cells known as the endothelium, which is continuous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin, and heart.

The cells in epithelial tissue are very closely packed together and joined with little space between them. With its tightly packed structure, we would expect epithelial tissue to serve some type of barrier and protective function and that is certainly the case. For example, the skin is composed of a layer of epithelial tissue (epidermis) that is supported by a layer of connective tissue. It protects the internal structures of the body from damage and dehydration.

Epithelial tissue also helps to protect against microorganisms. The skin is the body's first line of defense against bacteria, viruses, and other microbes.

jeka57 [31]

The correct answer is - increased resource supply.

The resource extraction is a process though which the supply of resources on the market is achieved. In the past century, the extraction has been increasing constantly, thus the supply of resources on the market increased significantly because the demand for the same increased significantly.

On the other hand, the extraction of resources, very often, has very bad impact on the environment. The soils are destroyed, which is especially concerning considering the fact that fertile soils are desperately needed. The vegetation is cleared or polluted to a degree where it dies out, and the water also gets contaminated. Lot of this issues are extremely serious, and urgent measures have to be taken in order for such damage to be stopped.
