Microvilli are associated with the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine, where they increase surface area for absorption. Goblet cells are specialized cells found in the epithelial tissue of the respiratory and digestive tracts, where they secrete mucus to protect and lubricate the lining of these organs.

Epithelial tissue in the stomach can be found lining the inner surface of the stomach, forming a protective barrier against stomach acid and digestive enzymes. This tissue is made up of specialized cell types that help with secretion, absorption, and protection.
Yes, epithelial tissues can form glands. Glands are specialized structures made up of epithelial cells that secrete substances to be released into the body or into ducts. There are various types of glands such as exocrine and endocrine glands that are derived from epithelial tissue.
Yes, sweat glands are made of modified epithelial tissue. They are formed by invaginations of the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and consist of coiled tubular structures. These tubular structures are lined with specialized sweat gland epithelial cells that secrete sweat.

Epithelial tissue, or skin.
An epithelial membrane is a thin layer of tissue that covers organs, lines cavities, and forms the outer layer of the skin. It consists of epithelial cells attached to an underlying connective tissue layer. Epithelial membranes serve to protect, secrete, and absorb substances.
Epithelial tissue exhibits polarity, with distinct apical and basal surfaces. This polarity allows epithelial cells to carry out specialized functions such as absorption, secretion, and barrier formation.
The type of body tissue that includes the endocrine glands is called epithelial tissue. Endocrine glands are a specialized type of epithelial tissue that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Microvilli are associated with the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine, where they increase surface area for absorption. Goblet cells are specialized cells found in the epithelial tissue of the respiratory and digestive tracts, where they secrete mucus to protect and lubricate the lining of these organs.

Examples of tissues include epithelial tissue (skin), connective tissue (bone), muscle tissue (skeletal muscle), and nervous tissue (neurons). Each type of tissue has specialized cells that work together to perform specific functions in the body.
