Question

Contraction and relaxation are unique features of_______________

• A. Epithelial tissue
• B. Connective tissue
• C. Muscle tissue
• D. Nervous tissue

Answer 1

The correct option is C Muscle tissue

• Epithelial tissue is meant for covering and protecting the body, organs, and cavities. They do not possess the property of contraction and relaxation.
• Connective tissue connects, supports, and separates the organs in the body. These are present in different forms as fluid, jelly-like rigid, hard forms.
• Nervous tissue is meant for rapid transmission of the signals from one place to another. These tissues do not contract or relax.
• Muscle cells are elongated and possess contractile proteins such as actin, myosin. These proteins carry out the contraction and relaxation of muscles and cause body movement.

Therefore, option C is correct.
