Question

Choose the wrong statement:

• A. The nature of the matrix differs according to the function of the tissue
• B. Fats are stored below the skin and in between the internal organs
• C. Epithelial tissues have intercellular spaces between them
• D. Cells of striated muscles are multinucleate and unbranched

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Epithelial tissues have intercellular spaces between them

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Between epithelial cells, there are no intercellular gaps.
2. They produce a sheet or layer of cells that is continuous.
3. The epithelial tissue, also known as the epithelium, forms the skin's outer layer and also borders the bodily cavity.
4. Absorption, protection, sensing, and secretion are only a few of the activities they conduct.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

1. Depending on the function of the tissue, the matrix has varying qualities.
2. The matrix of connective tissues determines the density of the tissue.
3. When a connective tissue has a large concentration of cells or fibres, the matrix density is proportionately lower.
4. Collagen, elastic, and reticular fibres are the organic part or protein fibres found in connective tissues.

Option B:

1. Fat is stored in adipose tissue, which is found beneath the skin and between internal organs.
2. Fat globules fill the cells in these tissues.
3. Insulation is provided by fat storage.

Option D:

1. In most cases, the cells of striated muscle tissue are multinucleated and unbranched.
2. Because they form a continuous sheet or layer of cells, the cells of striated muscle tissues are multinucleated and unbranched in the first place.

Final answer: The wrong statement is epithelial tissues have intercellular spaces between them.
