This type of tissue covers most exposed areas of the body and lines the body cavities such as blood and lymph vessels, the digestive tract, and glands. These cells function in:
Protection - they form a barrier that is special for their need (like keeping in liquids or allowing the passage of certain materials). Skin cells protect against foreign invasion and permit homeostasis (keeping the internal environment at a certain desired level). This includes keeping certain substances in their proper place in the body, such as blood in vessels and gastric juice in the digestion system.
Structure / support - they line cavities keeping everything in order.
Secretion - certain cells have the task of secretion, these are found scattered in the appropriate epithelial layers (often times in ducts which are in glands).

What are the four primary tissues in adult organ?
Epithelial Tissue- this tissue covers any bodily surface including organs, body cavities, and glands. There are subcategories of Epithelial Tissue, which are Squamous (pavement) , Simple Columnar, Simple Cuboidal, Glandular, Stratified, and Ciliated Columnar. The main functions of epithelial tissue are sensation, absorption, protection, cleaning, reduction of friction, excretion, diffusion, and secretion. Connective Tissue- this tissue forms blood, cartilage, and bone. It is classified into dense connective, loose connective, reticular, elastic, and adipose. Muscle- contractile tissue that causes movement in an organism as well as internal functions. The three types of muscle tissue are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Nervous Tissue- this tissue is responsible for sending and receiving messages from muscle tissue to the brain. Nervous tissue is composed of neurons.
