Making the world better, one answer at a time. One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body.Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.aking the world better, one answer at a time. One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body.
Epithelia are a sheet of cells that line almost all body surfaces (skin, intestine, lung, body cavities), form the functional units of secretory glands, and line the inner surface of blood and lymphatic vessels. List the junctional complexes that hold epithelial cells together and their primary functions. 2  List the functions of the basement membrane and how epithelial cells attach to the basement membrane.
