question
What is the differences between epithelial tissues in terms of cellularity, vascular off, structure, and function.
answer
Cellularity: Epithelial tissue is highly cellular, composed mostly of cells. Connective tissue has fewer cells, but contains fibers.
Vascularity: Epithelial tissue is avascular, but innervated. Connective tissue has varying degrees of vascularity. Dense connective tissue is poorly vascularized and cartilage is avascular.
Structure: Epithelial tissue contains an apical surface, a basal surface, and is always connected to a sheet of connective tissue. Connective tissue contains a matrix and can have sense or loose fibers.
Function: Epithelial tissue function includes absorption, filtration, secretion, secretion, protection, excretion, and sensory reception. Connective tissue function includes binding and supporting, transport, storing, and protection.
