A general characteristic of epithelial tissue is that it lines body cavities and organs. Which of the following characteristic is FALSE regarding skin cells? ? Epidermal cells lack the ability to regenerate ? The epidermis is stratified to protect from constant friction ? Epidermal skin cells have keratin which helps waterproof the skin ? Epidermal cells are avascular ? Epidermal epithelial cells are anchored to underlying muscle by connective tissue

Which of the following statements about the skin is FALSE? The epidermis is made up of epithelial tissue whereas the dermis is made up primarily of connective tissue. The basal lamina is a specialized form of extracellular matrix upon which epithelial tissue sits. Fibroblasts are one type of cell found within the dermis that helps produce the extracellular matrix.
