With Complete Solutions
avascularity no blood vessels
innervation Epithelia are richly innervated to detect changes in environment
high regeneration capacity Because the apical surface is constantly exposed to the
environment, epithelial cells are frequently damaged or die; they are replaced as quickly as they
are lost
characteristics of epithelial tissue attachment, avascularity, innervation, high regeneration
capacity
functions of epithelial tissue physical protection, selective permeability, secretions,
sensations
basement membrane Cells at the base of an epithelial layer are attached to this.
intercellular junctions tight junctions, adhering junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions
