It’s one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissues line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs throughout the body.

An epithelium is tissue that covers a body surface of the bodies cavities it forms parts of most glands and it protects, absorbs, supports, filters and forms slippery surfaces.
