primary tissue types are derived from what 3 embryonic germ layers?

endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm




what primary tissue types are derived from the endoderm

lining of the digestive tract and its derivatives; lung tissue and other internal organs

,that primary tissues are derived from the mesoderm

muscle, bone, and blood vessels; forms heart




what primary tissues are derived from the ectoderm

outermost layer of the skin (integumentary system) and the nervous system




epithelial tissue features

-covers surfaces

-has little extracellular material

-usually has a basement membrane

-no blood vessels




epithelial cell features

- Have a free, or apical, surface (not attached to other cells)

- A lateral surface (attached to

protective barrier, permitting the passage of substances, secreting substances, absorbing
substances

,classification of epithelial tissue
