Epithelial tissue: This type of tissue makes up the skin, glands, and linings of body cavities and organs. It is packed closely together with little or no intercellular material, and it is classified according to shape as squamous (flat), cuboidal (square), columnar (long and narrow), or transitional (varying shapes that can stretch). Epithelial cells may be arranged in a single layer of cells of the same shape, called simple epithelium, or in many layers of cells named according to the shape of the cells in the outer layer; this is called stratified epithelium.
