Concept explainers
(a).
To review: The location and function of each epithelial tissue type in Table 6.1.
Introduction: The epithelial cell is formed by joining cells that together form layers of epithelial cells in the body. The epithelial cells have important functions like protecting the tissue layers and hence, they are always found on the surface of the organs and tissues. The epithelial cells also act as a barrier to control the movement of molecules in-between the glands.
(b).
To review: The location and function of each epithelial tissue type in Table 6.2.
Introduction: The epithelial cells are usually found on the body surfaces and all the surfaces of the organs like the skin, urinary tract, organ surfaces, and in blood vessels. The epithelial cells are one of the primary tissues in the body that take most of the functions in the body system. A simple epithelium can be of three types like simple cuboidal, simple squamous, and simple columnar.
(c).
To review: The location and function of each epithelial tissue type in Table 6.3.

To review: The location and function of each epithelial tissue type in table 6.4.
Introduction: The epithelial cell is formed by joining cells together to form layers of epithelial cells in the body. The epithelial cells have important functions like protecting the tissue layers and hence, they are always found on the surface of the organs and tissues. The epithelial cells also act as a barrier to control the movement of molecules in-between the glands.
(e).
To review: The location and function of each epithelial tissue type in Table 6.5.
Introduction: The epithelial cell is formed by joining cells together to form layers of epithelial cells in the body. The epithelial cells have four different shapes like squamous, transitional, columnar, and cuboidal types. The epithelial cells have important functions like protecting the tissue layers and hence, they are always found on the surface of the organs and tissues.
(f).
