the epithelial tissues are formed by cells that cover the organ surfaces, such as the surface of skin, the airways, the reproductive tract, and the inner lining of the digestive tract. the cells comprising an epithelial layer are linked via semi-permeable, tight junctions; hence, this tissue provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ it covers. in addition to this protective function, epithelial tissue may also be specialized to function in secretion, excretion and absorption. epithelial tissue helps to protect organs from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss.
