Simple epithelium promotes the diffusion of gases, liquids and nutrients. Because they form such a thin lining, they are ideal for the diffusion of gases (eg. walls of capillaries and lungs). Cleaning ; Ciliated epithelium assists in removing dust particles and foreign bodies which have entered the air passages

∙ 13y agoThe epithelium is one of the layers of the skin. The skin is our primary organ of excretion. It allows us to excrete toxins in sweat and protects us from absorbing many external toxins.
It also helps maintain body temperature by shivering when we are cold and flushing and sweating when we are hot.

What type of tissue makes up the epidermis?
The outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is made up of stratified squamous epithelium. If it helps, remember stratified squamous is made up of multiple layers to provide protection, like when you scrape your knee. because hopefully, there will be other layers underneath! The epidermis is composed of five layers (from the outer most layer to the deepest layer): Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum basale Stratified squamous epithelial tissue The type of tissue that makes up the cells on top and bottom of the leaf (epidermis) is dermal tissue. Epithelial tissue makes up the human epidermis.
List five major functions of epithelium in the body and give examples of each?
Protection: covering and lining surfaces. protect underlying tissues.Sensation: Sensory stimuli are detected by specialized epithelial cells. Specialized epithelial tissue containing sensory nerve endings is found in the skin, eyes, ears and nose and on the tongue.Secretion: In glands, epithelial tissue is specialized to secrete specific chemical substances such as enzymes, hormones and lubricating fluids.Absorption: Certain epithelial cells lining the small intestine absorb nutrients from the digestion of food.Excretion: Epithelial tissues in the kidney excrete waste products from the body and reabsorb needed materials from the urine. Sweat is also excreted from the body by epithelial cells in the sweat glands.Diffusion: Simple epithelium promotes the diffusion of gases, liquids and nutrients. Because they form such a thin lining, they are ideal for the diffusion of gases (e.g. walls of capillaries and lungs).
What are five different types of tissues?
As you may already understand there are many different types of 'tissue' in the body so I hope these will act as a general selection. Heart Tissue Liver Tissue Lung Tissue Brain Tissue / Nerve Tissue Pancreatic Tissue Almost every organ has tissue which is used to bind the organs together acting as a secondary support for organs. I wonder who says that there are only five: bone, connective, neural, muscle, organ, blood vessels and probably more.
What are the characteristics of epithelia tissue?
Epithelia tissues consists of closely-packed cells arranged in one or more flat sheets. Their apical surface is exposed to the external environmental while their basal surface is attached to the tissue beneath it. The connective tissues link the epithelial cells to other structures. Nutrients travel to the epithelia tissues via diffusion through the capillaries.
