Question
just like there are different kinds of cells, there are different kinds of tissues. human body tissues can be classified into four main types: connective, muscle, epithelial, and nervous. these tissues can be found working together in organs all over the body.
read the passage to learn about the tissues in the stomach.
the stomach is a hollow organ in the body that breaks down swallowed food. it is lined with epithelial tissue, which releases chemicals that break down food. muscle tissue in the stomach expands and contracts to mix the food and chemicals. the stomach has connective tissue to bind it to blood vessels and nerves. nervous tissue in the stomach tells the other tissues in the stomach when to contract and release chemicals.
select the true statements.
the arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function.
epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food.
each organ in the human body is made up of a single type of tissue.
epithelial tissue signals muscle tissue to contract in the stomach.
- The passage states each tissue in the stomach has a specific role (epithelial releases digestive chemicals, muscle mixes food, connective binds to vessels/nerves, nervous coordinates actions) that together enable the stomach's food breakdown function, so the first two statements are true.
- The text explicitly notes organs like the stomach have multiple tissue types, so the claim of single-tissue organs is false.
- Nervous tissue, not epithelial tissue, signals contractions, so the final statement is false.
