Answer
Epithelio (or epitheli/o) is a combining form referring to epithelium—the tissue covering body surfaces and lining internal organs and cavities. It comes from Greek "epi" (upon) and "thele" (nipple). Medical terms using this root include epithelial (relating to epithelium), endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels), and epithelioma (tumor of epithelial tissue).
