    process where cells become specialized to form body linings

    Epithelial differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells develop into specialized epithelial cells that form the lining of surfaces and cavities in the body, such as the skin, hair follicles, and internal organs. This process is crucial for creating barriers and structures that protect the body and facilitate functions like absorption, secretion, and sensation.
