Question

multiple choice question which of the major tissue classes covers all free body surfaces, forms the inner lining of body cavities and hollow organs, and is the major tissue forming glands? o connective tissue o epithelial tissue o nervous tissue o muscle tissue

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each tissue type:

• Connective tissue: Supports, binds, or protects. Not for lining surfaces or forming glands.
• Epithelial tissue: Covers free body surfaces, lines body cavities/hollow organs, and forms glands (e.g., sweat glands).
• Nervous tissue: For communication (neurons, glia). Not for lining or glands.
• Muscle tissue: For movement. Not for lining or glands.

So epithelial tissue matches the description.

Answer:

O Epithelial tissue
