give 2 characteristics of epithelial tissue ?
- Protection: Shields underlying tissues from injury, water loss, and harmful microbes. [1, 2]
- Absorption: Takes in nutrients in places like the small intestine. [1, 2]
- Secretion: Releases hormones, mucus, and enzymes through glands. [1, 2]
- Filtration and Diffusion: Allows small molecules and gases to pass through, such as in lung air sacs and kidney tubules
