Define hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
hypertonic: excessive or above normal tone or tension.
hypotonic: below normal tone or tension.
isotonic: having a uniform tension.

Since epithelium are avascular, where do they get their food and oxygen?
They depend on diffusion from the capillaries in the under-lying connective tissue to get their food and oxygen.
