what type of tissue covers the outer surface of the body and lines the intestines
A. Cells are arranged in tissues that provide specific functions for the body. Cells of different tissues are structured differently, which leads to their differences in function. The tissues of the human body include four major types. 1. Epithelial tissue is widespread throughout the body, covers organs, and lines body surfaces. 2. Epithelial tissues are anchored to a basement membrane, are made up of tightly packed cells containing little intercellular material, generally lack blood vessels, and are replaced frequently.
