• B. Compound epithelium covers the dry surface of the skin and has protective function
• C. Epithelial tissue is rich in intercellular matrix and is vascular
• D. Skin is connected to muscles by areolar connective tissue

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Epithelial tissues are found to be lining different tissues and organs of the body. The cell arrangement in the epithelial tissue is very compactly found to be generally avascular. The intercellular matrix is next to nil and as a result, the tissue cells have one free surface for contact.
