∙ 11y agoEpithelia are sheets of cells that cover organs and body surfaces. They play a key role in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Epithelial cells are often closely packed together and are supported by a basement membrane.

No, simple epithelia are typically found in areas of minimal wear and tear as they provide limited protection. In areas of high abrasion, stratified epithelia are more common as they offer multiple layers of cells for durability and protection.
Stratified squamous
as sensory epithelia. These epithelia are found in specific sensory organs such as the olfactory epithelium for smell, the taste buds for taste, the retina for sight, the macula and cristae in the inner ear for equilibrium, and the cochlea in the inner ear for hearing. They are highly specialized to detect and transmit sensory information to the brain.
There are four major tissue types: epithelia, connective, muscle and nervous tissue.

Paracellular transport systems move substances across simple epithelia by passing between adjacent cells through tight junctions, while transcellular transport systems move substances across simple epithelia by passing through the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells.
