Detailed explanation-1: -Epithelial tissue or epithelium forms the outer covering of the skin and also lines the body cavity. It forms the lining of respiratory, digestive, reproductive and excretory tracts. They perform various functions such as absorption, protection, sensation and secretion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The type of epithelium that covers the lining mucosa is a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium [1].
Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands.
Detailed explanation-4: -The epithelial layer is the surface layer of the mucosa. Epithelial cells secrete a thick, gel-like mucus that protects your body from irritants and gives the mucosa its name. These cells arrange themselves in different ways to suit different parts of your body.
Detailed explanation-5: -Although most epithelial tissues are a type of tissue on the surface of bodily structures (e.g., the skin or the lining of the intestines), some are also part of glandular tissue that produce and secrete products, such as mucus and proteins.
