Question

select the true statements.
epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food.
the arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function.
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.

Explanation:

1. The stomach relies on epithelial (secrete enzymes/mucus), muscle (churn food), connective (support structure), and nervous (control contractions) tissues to digest food, so this statement is true.
2. The layered arrangement of the stomach's tissues (e.g., muscle layers for churning, inner epithelial lining) directly supports its digestive function, so this statement is true.
3. All organs are composed of multiple tissue types working together, so this statement is false.
4. Nervous tissue (not epithelial) signals stomach muscle tissue to contract, so this statement is false.

Answer:

A. Epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food.
B. The arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function.
