Book Description:

The exchange of substances between higher organisms and the environment takes place at the level of epithelia made up of one or more layers of cells. Epithelial cells that form the glands, and the lining of some organs and the endothelial cells of blood vessels, fuse with one another to form what is called a tight junction, which prevents water and other substances from leaking between the cells.
