difference between simple and compund?? - (Oct/07/2004 )

can anyone tell me what's the difference between simple epithelium and compound epithelium??

please~~
this is urgent!!!

Do you mean simple and compound epithelial organs?
glands are often referred to as epithelial organs, and though common, its an incorrect description, blah blah, organs are defined as a collection of tissues that are integrated to carry out a certain function.....epithelial organs indicate that thay contain lots and lots and lots of epithelial cells. Exocrine organs are classified on their ducks (he he ) ...ducts. The two broadest categories of these are simple and compound. Simple = undivided. Compound= divided at least once.
Does this help?
