-consists almost entirely of cells with very little extracellular material
-Forms outer covering of the body as wells as inner lining of the digestive organs, the blood vessels, and many body cavities
-epithelial cells undergo rapid mitosis and therefore able to replace damaged cells with new cells
-Basement membrane helps to attach the epithelial cells
