Concept explainers
The tissues that cover external and internal body surfaces are
- epithelial.
- connective.
- muscle.
- nervous.
Introduction:
A group of the same type of cells that perform a common function is termed as tissue. Tissues are specific in function. There are four types of tissues in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
Answer to Problem 1PL
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (a) epithelial.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (a) epithelial. The epithelial tissue covers the outer surface of organs and blood vessels across the body, and it also covers the cavities of various internal organs. So, the correct answer is option (a).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b) connective. The connective tissue provides protection and support to many body parts. It also interconnects different organs. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (c) muscle. The muscle tissue is soft and provides the ability of contraction to the muscles. As a result, it generates muscular movement in the body. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) nervous. The nervous tissue constitutes the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. It transmits signals for internal communication. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Also, if you can define how you can describe the location of tissue from the reference, it will be great. Such as your ear is distal from the nose. How about other parts of the body? Also, please know the body plane to explain each part of your body. Dorsal, ventral, inferior, superior, anterior, posterior, medial?

- Which of the following four primary tissue types is shown in the image below? The four primary tissue types differ in appearance and function. A B C D connective tissue epithelial tissue nervous tissue muscular tissuearrow_forwardExamine and compare the appearance of: Simple and stratified squamous, cuboidal and columnar epithelium. Loose connective tissue proper: areolar, adipose, and reticular Dense regular, irregular, and elastic connective tissue Cartilage: hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage. Bone Blood Nervous tissue Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth musclearrow_forwardMembranes are layers of connective and epithelial tissues that line the external environment and internal body cavities of the body. Synovial membranes are epithelial tissue membranes that protect and line the freely-movable joints. Epithelial membranes are composed of both epithelial tissue and muscle tissue. These membranes are found lining the external body surface (cutaneous membranes and mucous membranes) or lining the internal body cavities (serous membranes). O True O Falsearrow_forward

- T/F question Connective tissue covers body surfaces and lines internal cavities. Squamous tissue consists of flat, thin epithelial cells. Endocrine glands secrete hormones. Fibroblast cells associated with loose connective tissue secrete a matrix material containing collagen fibers. Platelets are red blood cells that carry oxygen.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements accurately describes serous membranes? : Serous membranes surround organs, contain fluid inside their cavity and have a visceral and parietal layer. Serous membranes are further divided into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities Serous membranes are present in the dorsal body cavity and have a visceral and parietal layer. Serous membranes contain organs inside their cavity and have a visceral and parietal layer.arrow_forwardAll of the following are functions of connective tissues, except energy and mineral storage. structural support. binding organs together. transport of nutrients, wastes.arrow_forward
