Exploring Animal Tissues

What are the four main types of animal tissues?

• Muscle, connective, digestive, and epithelial tissue.

• Epithelial, muscular, skeletal, and connective tissue.

• Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

• Nervous, epithelial, respiratory, and connective tissue.

Which type of tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities?

• Epithelial tissue

• Connective tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Nervous tissue

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• The primary function of epithelial tissue is to protect and cover surfaces.

• To produce hormones

• To facilitate nutrient absorption

• To store energy

Name a characteristic feature of connective tissue.

• Nervous tissue

• Muscle fibers

• Epithelial cells

• Extracellular matrix

What type of connective tissue stores fat?

• Adipose tissue

• Blood

• Bone tissue

• Cartilage

Which type of muscle tissue is involuntary and found in the heart?

• Cardiac muscle

• Striated muscle

• Smooth muscle

• Skeletal muscle

What is the main function of skeletal muscle tissue?

• To provide involuntary movement

• The main function of skeletal muscle tissue is to facilitate voluntary movement.

• To store calcium ions

• To produce hormones

How do smooth muscle tissues differ from skeletal muscle tissues?

• Smooth muscle is found only in the heart; skeletal muscle is found in the limbs.

• Smooth muscle fibers are larger than skeletal muscle fibers.

• Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated; skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated.

• Smooth muscle is voluntary and striated; skeletal muscle is involuntary and non-striated.

What is the role of nervous tissue in the body?

• To produce hormones for growth regulation

• The role of nervous tissue in the body is to transmit signals, coordinate actions, process sensory information, and maintain homeostasis.

• To provide structural support to organs

• To store energy for muscle contractions

Which cells are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses?

• Glial cells

• Neurons

• Epithelial cells

• Muscle cells
