Question

A tissue found at surfaces, composed of one or more layers of closely adhering cells, is called __________ tissue.

Answer 1

Answer:

Epithelial

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues are the tissue that covers the body surfaces and line the body cavities. The cells of this tissue form a continuous sheet and are arranged in single or multiple layers. These cells are closely packed and there is little or no intercellular space. Epithelial tissue covers and lines various surfaces. For example, the body surface is covered with skin which is made up of epithelial tissue. The function of epithelial tissue is to protect the underlying parts, secrete mucus, hormones, and enzymes and to absorb and excrete substances.
