Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cells in epithelial tissue are tightly packed together with very little intercellular matrix. Because the tissues form coverings and linings, the cells have one free surface that is not in contact with other cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The four major classes of simple epithelium are: 1) simple squamous; 2) simple cuboidal; 3) simple columnar; and 4) pseudostratified.
Detailed explanation-3: -Intercellular junctions are protein complexes on the basolateral cell membranes of epithelial cells. Their functions are to establish membrane polarity, connect adjacent cells and anchor the epithelial tissue to the connective tissue underneath it.
