Question

liver tissue is a combination of many types of cells. in addition to other tissues, it contains connective tissue and epithelial tissue. which two sentences correctly identify the roles of these tissues?

• connective tissue supports the framework of the liver, and epithelial tissue protects the liver.
• connective tissue helps to send impulses to the brain, and epithelial tissue helps in contraction and relaxation.
• connective tissue helps with contraction and relaxation, and epithelial tissue supports the framework of the liver.
• connective tissue forms the lining of the liver, and epithelial tissue helps to send impulses to the brain.
• connective tissue holds the liver in place during movement, and epithelial tissue forms the lining of the liver.

Explanation:

Connective tissue provides structural support for organs like the liver, while epithelial tissue forms protective linings and barriers for organs. Nerve tissue handles impulse transmission, and muscle tissue manages contraction/relaxation, so options involving those functions are incorrect.

Answer:

• Connective tissue supports the framework of the liver, and epithelial tissue protects the liver.
• Connective tissue holds the liver in place during movement, and epithelial tissue forms the lining of the liver.
