Term

Functions of Epithelial tissue/skin

 

& explain each point

Definition

Protection

Against abrasion,

Has elastic properties & covers muscles & organs

Protects from bacteria & viruses

Protects from UV radition = melinin traps UV radiation

 

Temp regulation

BVs in skin (vasoconstriction & vasodilation) 2 cool us down/keep heat in
