Question

Epithelial tissue is a protective tissue present in the animal body.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are epithelial tissues. Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate. Epithelial cells form a thin layer of cells known as the endothelium, which is continuous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin and heart.
