You want to be a pharmacist. You are required to take several histology classes. One of this is on epithelial tissue. What is the relationship between this tissue and administering drugs to help cure someone?

Answer: Epithelial tissue is made of different shapes of cells, and different layers of tissue. It is important to understand epithelial tissue so you can know how much medication to put into body, how to get it inside, etc. For example, if you understand histology, you know that a lot of epithelial tissue is made up of several, tough layers. If you inject medicine, you would need to know where the layers are thinnest, or amount of pressure to apply to the syringe. You also know that epithelial tissue is made up of lots of tightly interwoven cells, so you would need to supply enough fluid medicine to move across/through gap junctions. You can get medicine transdermally, so you need to know to apply a lot in areas of stratified tissue. Number of layers directly influences how you get the medicine inside, how much medicine to supply, etc.
