Solution

Epithelium- It is one of the four types of tissues. Others being, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue. It generally is the covering of every organ. Like the epithelium of the trachea is pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium, that if urinary bladder is transitional epithelium.

Epidermis- It is the outer covering of the body, of the skin. The skin has layers; epidermis, dermis etc. And epidermis further has four or five layers depending on its location. If we’re talking about the palm, it has 5 layers. And the epithelium covering it is stratified squamous keratinized epithelium.
