There are three different types of epithelial tissues that are found inside the human body. There is the cutaneous membrane (tissue)‚ which we would refer to as “skin”. This part is the only epithelial tissue that is touched by air and is dry. The cutaneous membrane is composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. The second is the mucous membrane‚ which is the tissue used for absorption and secretion‚ protective lubricating mucus in the repertory and digestive system. This membrane

Cutaneous anthrax or skin anthrax is the most common form of anthrax found. It is developed when a break in the skin comes into direct contact with anthrax spores. This includes a cut or some sort of abrasion. The itchy bump‚ resembling an insect bite‚ caused by this form of anthrax transmutes into a blister and then a black sore.
