Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Epithelial cells are a sheet of adhering cells which cover the body surfaces, cavities in the form of internal and external linings of body organs and tissues of glands. The main functions of the epithelial cells are protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, sensation and filtration. Epithelia consists of three classes, simple (one layer of cells), pseudostratified and stratified (consists of 2 to 20 layers of cells).
