Summary Introduction

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.

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). Why is what you wrote true?
Which of the following is one of the four basic cell types in the body?a. respiratoryb. epithelialc. endocrined. integumentarye. immune
Where in an organ is the basement membrane located?     At any of these locations.     Closely associated with the basal side of the epithelial cell layer.     Interspersed throughout the connective tissue.     At the apical layer of the epithelium where exposed to the environment.
