which one of the following ia an example of epithelial tissue
A.aponeuroses
B.subcutaneous skin layer
C.lining of the digestive tract
D.larynx
would it be c not sure
epithelial cells line the insides of the gastrointestinal tract
Yes, you are correct. The lining of the digestive tract (option C) is an example of epithelial tissue.
Epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that covers the surfaces of organs, lines body cavities, and forms glands. It serves as a protective barrier and functions in absorption, secretion, and sensation.
To determine which option is an example of epithelial tissue, you need to understand the characteristics and functions of epithelial tissue and then consider the given options.
Option A, aponeuroses, refers to a fibrous sheet of connective tissue that connects muscles to bones or other structures. This is not an example of epithelial tissue.
Option B, subcutaneous skin layer, refers to the layer of tissue underneath the skin. This layer primarily consists of fat cells and connective tissue, not epithelial tissue.
Option C, lining of the digestive tract, is indeed an example of epithelial tissue. The lining of the digestive tract is composed of epithelial cells that aid in the absorption of nutrients and secretion of digestive enzymes.
Option D, larynx, refers to the voice box, which is primarily composed of cartilage, muscles, and connective tissue. Although the larynx contains some specialized epithelial tissue, it is not primarily composed of epithelial cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C, lining of the digestive tract.
