What are the 3 primary ways that epithelial tissues function?
|
1. as selective barriers that limit or aid the transfer of substances in and out of the body.
2. as secretory structures that release products produced by the cells onto their free surfaces. 3. as protective surfaces that resist the abrasive influences of the environment, protect against chemical and bacterial invasion, and temper the harmful rays of the sun. |
