Question

Cheek cells are made up of

• A. Muscle cells
• B. Epithelial cells
• C. Nerve cells
• D. Brain cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B Epithelial cells

Cheek cells are a type of skin cells.
Muscle cells are responsible for movement in and of the body. Muscle cells are elongated and possess contractile proteins as actin, myosin. These proteins carry out contraction and relaxation of muscles and cause the body movement.
Nerve cells are meant for rapid transmission of the signals from one place to another. These tissues do not contract or relax.
Brain cells are called as nerve cells.
Epithelial tissue are meant for covering and protecting the body, organs and cavities. These cells are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet. They lack any intercellular spaces. Skin is made of epithelial cells. Hence, cheek cells are made of epithelial cells.
