characteristics of of epithelial tissue

  • rapid rate of mitosis

  • very tightly packed

  • protects body from drying our, injury and bacterial invasion

  • internally, protects, cilia in respiratory tracts sweep up impurities digestive tract they secrete mucus protecting lining microvilli help absorption in kidneys
