Examples: simple squamous epithelium, glandular cuboidal epithelium, transitional epithelium, myoepithelium[CARO].

The simplest metazoans, and developmental stages of many primitive invertebrates, consist solely of these two layers. Thus, epithelial and connective tissues may be the primary (original) tissues of metazoans, and both are important in the functional organization of animals.[well established][VHOG] AAO:0010055 MESH:D004848 BILA:0000066 HAO:0000066 portion of epithelium epithelial ZFA:0001486 AAO:0000144 multilaminar epithelium unilaminar epithelium basement membrane of epithelium
