Introduction:
Cell is the functional and structural unit of a living being. Cells combine to form tissues, and tissues together form organs. And organs combine to form an organ system. There are four types of tissues in animals, “epithelial tissue”, “connective tissue”, “muscle tissue”, and “nervous tissue”.
Answer to Problem 1TY
The correct answer is option (c) nervous.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option ( c) Nervous tissue. The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system are formed by the combination of the nervous tissue. It is found in the ‘brain and spinal cord’. It comprises neurons and neuroglia that are responsible for maintaining the control of the body and communicating among its parts.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) epithelial tissue or epithelium. It is the sheet of cells that protects the peripheral surfaces of the body, line the gastrointestinal tract and its organs and certain glands. The skin is formed by the layer of epithelial tissues. There are six types of epithelial tissues- Simple squamous epithelia, simple cuboidal epithelia, simple columnar epithelia, stratified squamous epithelia, stratified cuboidal epithelia, stratified columnar epithelia.
Option (b) connective tissue. As the name reads, it acts as a binder between cells and organs of the body. The connective tissues protect and support all the parts of the body. These are of six types of this tissue- ‘loose connective tissue’, ‘dense connective tissue’, bone, cartilage, blood, and lymph.
Option (d) muscle tissue. This tissue responds to stimulus and contractions to provide movement. They are located in ‘hollow visceral organs, digestive organs, and blood vessels’. These are of three types- cardiac tissue, smooth tissue, and skeletal tissue.
Nervous tissue conducts electrical signals from one structure in the body to another structure.

- All of the following are characteristics of epithelial tissue EXCEPT: contains matrix avascularity covers or lines structures forms glands The aponeuroses seen in the anterior abdominal wall need to withstand forces of tension mainly in one direction. On the other hand, the tissue surrounding joints are likely to experience tension in multiple planes. What tissue would you expect to find in the joints? : Dense regular connective tissue Areolar connective tissue Dense irregular connective tissue Reticular connective tissuearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about epithelial tissue is/are TRUE? Cuboidal epithelial cells are fragile, flat and scale-shaped, and specialized for the diffusion of small molecules. A single layer of epithelial cells is described as simple epithelia. The lining of the skin is composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue. Because of its highly vascular network of capillaries, epithelial tissue provides the nutrients for the underlying connective tissues. Simple columnar epithelial cells are found lining the stomach. A stratified squamous epithelium is found where mechanical stresses are severe. Epithelial tissue continually repairs and renews itself. The transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder permits the frequent distension and recoil.arrow_forwardWhich of the following four primary tissue types is shown in the image below?

- Consider the four types of tissues in the human body. Imagine that you discovered an alien life form (very similar to humans) that didn't have one of the types of tissues (you choose which one that alien doesn't have). Explain how the functioning of that alien would be different from a human (that has all four types of tissues). Writing an answer to a constructed response question should contain the following parts: 1. Claim- this is your answer to the question (written in a complete sentence, using part of the question re-written as part of your answer). 2. Evidence. In the second part of your answer, you write details (from the lesson, class notes etc.) that support your answer. 3. Reasoning- this is a summary statement tying the evidence to your answer (to your claim).
