Exploring Animal Tissue Types

What are the four main types of animal tissues?

• Epithelial, muscular, skeletal, and connective tissue.

• Nervous, epithelial, skeletal, and adipose tissue.

• Connective, muscular, epithelial, and lymphatic tissue.

• Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

Which type of tissue is responsible for movement in the body?

• Connective tissue

• Epithelial tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Nervous tissue

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• To facilitate nutrient absorption

• To produce hormones

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

• To store energy

Name a type of connective tissue found in the body.

• Nervous tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Adipose tissue

• Epithelial tissue

What type of muscle tissue is involuntary and found in the walls of organs?

• epithelial tissue

• smooth muscle

• cardiac muscle

• skeletal muscle

Which type of connective tissue stores fat?

• Blood

• Bone

• Cartilage

• Adipose tissue

What is the role of nervous tissue in the body?

• To provide structural support to organs

• To store energy for muscle contractions

• To produce hormones for growth regulation

• The role of nervous tissue is to transmit signals, process information, and coordinate bodily functions.

Identify a characteristic of cardiac muscle tissue.

• Non-striated and involuntary with intercalated discs.

• Striated and involuntary with intercalated discs.

• Striated and voluntary with intercalated discs.

• Smooth and voluntary with no intercalated discs.

What type of epithelial tissue is specialized for absorption?

• Stratified squamous epithelium

• Simple columnar epithelium

• Transitional epithelium

• Cuboidal epithelium

How do the functions of smooth muscle differ from those of skeletal muscle?

• Skeletal muscle contracts slowly and involuntarily.

• Smooth muscle is striated and functions voluntarily.

• Smooth muscle functions involuntarily for sustained contractions, while skeletal muscle functions voluntarily for rapid movements.

• Smooth muscle is responsible for quick, explosive movements.
