Question
what type of tissue is the epidermis made of? epithelial tissue nervous tissue muscular tissue connective tissue
The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. Epithelial tissue covers the body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands. It serves protective, secretory, and absorptive functions. The epidermis, being a surface layer, is made of epithelial tissue. Nervous tissue is for communication (neurons), muscular tissue for movement (muscle cells), and connective tissue (like bone, blood) for support/connection - none of these match the epidermis' surface - covering function.
