Q

All epithelial tissues have what kind of surfaces?

They are classified by what two things

A 
basal surface (with basement membrane) and a free surface (apical surface).

Q

Connective tissues
components
function
location

A

generally have an abundant amount of matrix called the extra-cellular matrix (ECM)
ECM is a non-cellular material that occupies the space between the cells
The nature and consistency of the matrix varies among connective tissues and is used to classify each connective tissue.
