1. Cellularity- close packed cells
2. Specialized contacts- form continuous sheets
3. Polarity-
- Apical surface: upper free surface
- Basal surface: lower surface
- Microvilli- ex. cilia
- Basal lamina: adjacent to basal surface, thin supporting sheet
4. Supported by connective tissue- all layers lay upon
5. Avascular but innervated- supplied by nerve fibers, contains no blood vessels
6. Regeneration- exposed to friction, cells rub off
