Answer:

<u>Functions of epithelial tissue:</u>

  • i. Epithelial tissue covers the body outside and lines the various cavities inside.
  • ii. Epithelial tissue lines the hollow organs, body cavities, blood vessels and ducts.
  • iii. Cells are rested on thin, doubled layered, non-cellular basement membrane.
  • iv. Epithelial tissue has nerve supply of its own.
  • v. Epithelial tissue is avascular (a = without, vascular = vessel), i.e. it lacks its own blood supply and hence, obtains nutrients which diffuse out of blood vessels.
  • vi. Epithelial tissue has the power of division and regeneration. The old injured dead cells are sloughed off regularly and are replaced by new ones.
