The word epi in Greek means "upon" or "over." Based on this definition, what body part likely contains epithelial tissue? In your answer, explain how cell arrangement helps this body part perform its function.

Based on the meaning of epi, the skin contains epithelial tissue because it "covers" other organs and systems in the-body. Epithelial tissue packs cells close together. So, they form a close-knit layer, which helps the skin protect the inner body organs from harm.

Explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
