Epithelial tissue covers surfaces both inside and outside the body. It forms the outer layer of the skin, lines internal organs and cavities, and plays a crucial role in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Epithelial tissue is characterized by closely packed cells with minimal extracellular matrix, and it can be classified into various types based on cell shape and layering.
