Detailed explanation-1: -The epithelium is a type of body tissue that forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of your body, lines body cavities and hollow organs and is the major tissue in glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epithelial tissues are made up of tightly packed cells containing little intercellular material, generally lack blood vessels, and are replaced frequently. They function in protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, and sensory reception.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial tissue provides a covering (skin, the linings of the various passages inside the body).

Detailed explanation-4: -Epithelium forms continuous sheets of cells that line internal surfaces and cover the external surface of the body. It is a selective barrier that protects tissues and is often involved in absorption or secretion. A basement membrane separates an epithelium from the underlying connective tissue.
