Epithelial tissue is a major category of tissue which lines all our body surfaces. It can be classified by a combination of shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and layers (simple, stratified, pseudostratified).
The four main types of tissues in animals and humans are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, connective tissue provides support and structure, muscle tissue enables movement, and nervous tissue allows for communication within the body through electrical impulses.
An epithelial membrane is a thin layer of tissue that covers organs, lines cavities, and forms the outer layer of the skin. It consists of epithelial cells attached to an underlying connective tissue layer. Epithelial membranes serve to protect, secrete, and absorb substances.
Epithelial tissue covers the body surface. It serves as a protective barrier against physical, chemical, and microbial damage and helps regulate the exchange of substances between the body and its environment.
Epithelial tissue is the type of tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment. This tissue serves as a protective barrier or lining for organs and cavities in the body.
Connective tissue is not lined with epithelial cells.

The cutaneous membrane is considered an epithelial membrane. It is composed of the outer epidermis (epithelial tissue) and the deeper dermis (connective tissue).
Epithelial tissue does not exhibit polarity.
