Question

Four different types of animal tissues are given below, which one of these is correctly matched with its location and function?

• A. Tissue - Glandular epithelum Location - Intestine Function - Secretion
• B. Tissue - Collagen fibres Location - Cartilage Function - Attach contraction
• C. Tissue -Smooth muscle fibres Location - Heart Function - Heart Contraction
• D. Tissue - Columnar epithelium Location- Nephron Function- Secretion & absoption

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tissue - Glandular epithelum Location - Intestine Function - Secretion

• The glandular epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue which covers the glands (both exocrine and endocrine) of our body. They are mainly of two types: unicellular, consisting of isolated glandular cells (goblet cells of the alimentary canal), and multicellular, consisting of a cluster of cells (salivary gland).
• The major function of glandular epithelium is secretion. For example, Goblet cells of intestine secrete mucus.
• Glandular epithelium forms the covering of all major glands. It is also present in the intestinal lining.
  
• Hence Tissue - Glandular epithelium Location - Intestine Function - Secretion is correctly matched with its location and function.
• So, the correct answer is 'Tissue - Glandular epithelium Location - Intestine Function - Secretion'.
