Distinguish between Simple epithelium and compound epithelium
Simple epithelium is made of a single layer of cells. It functions as a lining for ducts, body cavities and tubes The compound epithelium consists of more than one layer of cells. It is usually protective in function. They protect against mechanical and chemical stress. Also, it has a limited role in absorption and secretion. These cells cover the skin, buccal cavity, pancreatic ducts, inner lining of salivary ducts and pharynx
