28
Apical surface
Exposed surface of the epithelial tissue
29
Basal surface
Faces the basement membrane of epithelial tissue
30
Mesothelium
membrane composed of simple squamous epithelium that forms the lining of several body cavities (thoracic cavity,abdominal cavity heart sac).
31
Endothelium
the tissue that forms a single layer of cells lining various organs and cavities of the body, especially the blood vessels, heart, and lymphatic vessels. It is formed from the embryonic mesoderm.
32
Epithelia / epithelium
tissues line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs throughout the body. ... All glands are made up of epithelial cells.
