Exploring Animal Tissues and Functions

What are the four main types of animal tissues?

• skin tissue

• blood tissue

• cartilage tissue

• epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue

Which type of tissue is responsible for movement in animals?

• Epithelial tissue

• Muscle tissue

• Connective tissue

• Nervous tissue

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• To store energy

• To produce hormones

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

• To facilitate nutrient absorption

How does connective tissue differ from other tissue types?

• Connective tissue is mainly involved in the absorption of nutrients.

• Connective tissue is the only type of tissue that forms the outer layer of the skin.

• Connective tissue provides support and binds other tissues, characterized by a large extracellular matrix.

• Connective tissue is primarily responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.

What are the two main types of nervous tissue?

• Neurons and glial cells

• Muscle cells and connective tissue

• Dendrites and axons

• Epithelial cells and blood cells

What is the role of neurons in the nervous system?

• Neurons transmit information and facilitate communication within the nervous system.

• Neurons produce hormones for the body.

• Neurons store memories and experiences.

• Neurons are responsible for muscle contraction.

How do glial cells support neurons?

• Glial cells replace damaged neurons with new ones.

• Glial cells produce neurotransmitters for neuron communication.

• Glial cells support neurons by providing structural support, insulation, nutrients, and repair.

• Glial cells transmit electrical signals between neurons.

What is the function of muscle tissue in animals?

• To store energy for the body.

• To produce hormones for growth.

• The function of muscle tissue in animals is to facilitate movement.

• To protect internal organs from injury.

What type of connective tissue stores fat in the body?

• Cartilage

• Adipose tissue

• Blood tissue

• Bone tissue

How does nervous tissue facilitate communication within the body?

• Nervous tissue communicates via electrical signals and neurotransmitters.

• Nervous tissue relies solely on chemical signals from the blood.

• Nervous tissue transmits information through muscle contractions.

• Nervous tissue uses hormones to communicate.
