Solution

The correct option is A

Epithelial Tissue


The human body consists of four types of tissue: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous. Epithelial tissue covers the body, lines all cavities, and composes the glands. It has a basement membrane which is not present in the other tissues. These tissues do not have a dedicated supply of blood vessels but they are innervated by connective tissue. Epithelial cells are laid together in sheets, that are tightly bound to one another by cell junctions.
