Can you state one function of epithelial cells?

Yes, I can. One function of the epithelial cells is that they can provide a sensory surface. This is because it protects the organs that are responsible for carrying the sensory organs. These sensory organs help up have our five senses, which are the sense of smell, sight, hearing, taste, and touch. In an animal's body, there are four main types of tissues.

One of those is the epithelial cells. There are multiple layers of cells that may up this cell. Another function of the epithelial cells is that the cells have the ability to move fluids in and out of the body through an organ or a body part.

The epithelial cell is the type of cell that will line the surface of your body. They can be found in various parts of your body. This means that you can find them on your skin, your urinary tract, organs, blood vessels, and all of your other organs. There are also instances when you can find some traces of epithelial cells in your urine.

This is considered to be normal. There are different functions of the epithelial cell and one of them is secretion. They will secrete substances from the underlying connective tissues. They are also in charge of absorbing the needed substances that the rest of the organs may need.

The function of the epithelial includes protection, selective absorption, and transcellular transport. Epithelial cells are the type of cells found lining the surface of the body. Epithelial cells are found in blood vessels, urinary tract, skin. There are three main shapes of the epithelial cells which include: squamous, columnar, and cuboidal.

Squamous epithelium is found in the lining of the mouth, blood vessels, and the alveoli of the lungs. These cells are wider than height. Cuboidal epithelium cells have the same height and width. Columnar epithelium cells can be divided into ciliated columnar and glandular columnar epithelium. These cells are taller than they are wide.
