== Epithelial tissue is located on the very outside of an organ or organism (i.e. skin) or found lining lumen (cavities in hollow organs (i.e. stomach lining). Epithelial tissue always has a free surface (no contact with another cell). Epithelial tissue is also avascular (no blood vessels) and must depend on underlying tissues for the nutrients and oxygen it needs to maintain homeostasis. For this reason, epithelial tissue is usually very thin. Another characteristic of epithelial tissue is that it has little to no intercellular matrix between it's cells. The cells are tightly packed together. Major functions of epithelial tissue include, protection, secretion, and absorption. And as another wiki person ID1342641670 said The epithelial tissue protects the main organ (the heart) from rubbing and damaging the lobes in the heart against the lungs it provides an extra barrier for security and saves the heart from injuries to the upper body around the heart area
