Epithelium tissue is the tissue that lines the body's internal (for instance the digestive system) and external (the skin) surfaces. Epithelium tissue is made up of cells that pack together tightly to form a barrier or wall. This makes them well-suited for forming a protective lining. It is one of the four primary tissue types in the human body. The other three are connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve tissue.
