11
Q

Characteristics of epithelia tissues

A

They do not have blood vessels but they soak up nutrients from neighboring connective tissues
. They have lot of nerves
They are good at self regeneration
Closely attached (like the tiles on the ground) to one another, thus forming a protective barrier.
