Question

Name the tissue responsible for movement in our body
1. Nervous tissue
2. Muscular tissue
3. Epithelial tissue
4. None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Muscular tissue

Concept:

• Tissue is a group of cells similar in structure and function
• Animal tissues can be epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.​

Explanation:

• Muscular tissue consists of elongated cells, also called muscle fibres.
• This tissue is responsible for movement in our body
• Muscles contain special proteins called contractile proteins, which contract and relax to cause movement.

•  Muscle fibre can be further divided into three types (a) striated muscle, (b) smooth muscle, (c) cardiac muscle

 

Nervous tissue:

• cells of the nervous tissue are highly specialized for being stimulated and then transmitting the stimulus very rapidly from one place to another within the body.
• The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are all composed of nervous tissue. The cells of this tissue are called nerve cells or neurons.

​Epithelial tissue:

• 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.
• The skin, the lining of the mouth, the lining of blood vessels, lung alveoli, and kidney tubules are all made of epithelial tissue.
