Question

The four sketches (A, B, C and D) given below, represent four different types of animal tissues. Which one of these is correctly identified in the options given, along with its correct location and function?

• A. A- Columnar epithelium, Nephron, Secretion and absorption
• B. B- Glandular Epithelium, Intestine, Secretion
• C. C- Collagen fibre, Cartilage, Attach skeletal muscles to bones
• D. D-Smooth muscle tissue, Heart, Heart contraction

Answer 1

The correct option is B B- Glandular Epithelium, Intestine, Secretion

The sketch A represents the simple columnar epithelium. It lines the alimentary canal and is involved in absorption and secretion.
The sketch B represents the unicellular glandular epithelium and lines the glands including intestine involved in secretion of hormones by the Goblet cells.
The sketch C represents the dense regular connective tissue as seen in tendons and ligaments.
The sketch D represents the cardiac muscle tissue found in the heart which is striated and involuntary.
