What is the difference between epithelial and connective tissues in terms of the arrangement of cells?

connective tissue
*No. of cells are less.
* matrix is in large amount
* cells donot on basement membrane.
*three types:connective tissue
skeletal tissue
liquid connective tissue
Epithelial tissue
*A large no. of cells occurs in the tissue
*matrix is absent or negligible.
*cells rest on basement membrane.
*two types:simple epithelium
stratified epithelium

∙ 9y agoEpithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body and lines the inside of tube and hollow organs. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. It provide protections, regulates exchange, transport, secrete, the cells touch, act as barrier, ex: lungs, intestine, kidney, exocrine gland, skin, trachea, lining blood vessel. Epithelial tissues are tightly packed sheets of cells. They to protect the body (ie. you skin), absorb nutrients (ie. in the blood vessels and intestines) and secrete fluids (ie. sweat, mucus, oil). They are not used to connect any part of the body to anything else. They also cover objects in the body such as the heart, lungs, and blood vessels.
Connective tissue supports and binds other tissues. and typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix. structural , cushioning, has a matrix, cells don't touch, ex: muscle, nerve, tendon, ligament, adipose, cartilage, bone. Connective tissue is the "tough" tissue that helps to create structure in an animal. Thus, it is an important component of the bone, muscles, joints, and skin, and blood cells are specialized connective tissue. There is a lot of intercellular material in connective tissue. Usually this material consists of connective tissue fibers, and is what gives the connective tissue its strength. Connective tissues are used to connect tissues and organs to each other. Adipose, a connective tissue, connects the epidermis (part of the epithelial tissues aka. skin) to underlying tissues. They are not tightly packed. There are six different connective tissues: Blood, Bone, Adipose (Fat), Cartilage, Nerve, and loose connective tissue. Each having their own characteristics.

What is the difference between epithelial and epithelium?
I'm not sure but I think epithelium is a tissue and epithelial is a cell
What is the difference between morphology and growth arrangement?
Morphology: branch of biology dealing with the form and structure of organisms. Growth Arrangement: how the cell's of the bacteria are arranged
What are 3 types of connective tissues?
Major types of connective tissue are collagen, adipose and loose connective tissue.Even bones, cartilage and blood are also considered as connective tissue.Loose connective tissue is found beneath the skin and between organs.It helps in providing support to other tissues and organs.Collagen provides strong covering material to various organs like kidney and also joins bones and ligaments(tendons).Adipose stores fat and provides insulation to animal body. Cartilage provides support and cushioning.
What is areolor tissue?
Areolar tissue is another name for loose connective tissue. It is a very common type of connective tissue that supports many structures which are normally under some pressure and low friction. It usually supports epithelial tissue, forms a layer around small blood and lymphatic vessels, and fills the spaces between muscle and nerve fibers. It is found in the papillary layer of the dermis, in the hypodermis, in the linings of the peritoneal and pleural cavities, in glands, and in the mucous membranes supporting the epithelial cells.
Thebasic difference between dense irregular and dense regular connective tissues is in the amount of elastic fibers and adipose cells present?
false
A basement membrane occurs between?
a basement membrane occurs between the epithelial tissue and the connective tissue

What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogenous mixture?
A principal difference between solid phases is the crystal structure, or arrangement, of the atoms
What is the difference between atypia and dysplasia?
Dysplasia is the sum of various disturbances of epithelial proliferation and differentiation as seen microscopically.Individual cellular features of dysplasia are called epithelial atypia
What are some differences between epithelial cells and muscle cells?
One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body. Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.
What is the difference between endothelium and mesothelium?
Endothelium is a simple squamous epithelial tissue that lines blood vessels. Mesothelium is a simple squamous epithelial tissue that surrounds the outside of our visceral organs.
Muscles between ribs?
