Animal Tissue Types and Functions Explained

The video discusses two types of animal tissues: epithelial and connective. Epithelial tissue serves as a lining for organs and cavities, forming glands and coming in simple or stratified forms. Connective tissue supports, connects, and separates tissues, with examples including bone, cartilage, and blood. The video explains the structure and function of these tissues, highlighting their roles in the body.

Which of the following is NOT a type of animal tissue?

• Epithelial tissue

• Connective tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Plant tissue

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• To provide structural support

• To act as a lining for organs and cavities

• To store energy

• To transmit nerve impulses

Where would you most likely find simple epithelium?

• In the esophagus

• In the alveoli of the lungs

• In the skin

• In the stomach lining

What is the basement membrane primarily composed of?

• Nerve endings

• Cells

How do epithelial cells receive nutrients?

• By active transport from the bloodstream

• Through blood vessels within the tissue

• Through direct absorption from the environment

• By diffusion from underlying tissues

Which of the following is NOT a function of connective tissue?
