General Information
Term epithelium development ID (Ontology) GO:0060429 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an epithelium over time, from its formation to the mature structure. An epithelium is a tissue that covers the internal or external surfaces of an anatomical structure.
