Cellularity - comprised almost entirely of cells bound closely together by cell junictions.
Polarity - referring to structural and functional differences between the exposed and attached surfaces
Attachment - the base of an epithelium is bound to a thin basal lamina or basement membrane
Avascularity - lacking blood vessles
Fluid Matrix - includes many types of suspended proteins that do not form insoluble fibers under normal conditions.
Regeneration - cells that are lost or damaged are constantly replaced through the division of stem cells
