Epithelial Tissue

This is skin from my leg.  Epithelial tissue is membranous tissue covering internal organs and other surfaces of the body.  Simple epithelial tissue, which is only one cell thick.  When the tissue is two or more cells thick it is called stratified epithelium.  An example of stratified epithelium is skin.
