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?
○ connective tissue
○ muscle tissue
○ nervous tissue
○ epithelial tissue

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each tissue type:

• Connective tissue: Supports, binds, or protects (e.g., bone, blood), not for covering surfaces or forming glands.
• Muscle tissue: For movement, not for covering or gland formation.
• Nervous tissue: For communication (neurons), not for covering or glands.
• Epithelial tissue: Covers body surfaces, lines cavities/organ s, and forms glands (e.g., skin, glandular epithelium).

Answer:

O Epithelial tissue
