What are the functions of epithelia? (PSP'S) 1. Provides physical protection 2.conrols permeability 3.Provide sensation 4.produce Specialized Secretions
What are exocrine secretions? They secretions dischargedonto the surfacde of epithelium. Examples:Milk of mammary glands, perspiration on the skin, enzymes entering digestive tract
