Question

Name the following.

1. Tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth.
2. Tissue that connects muscle to bone in humans.
3. Tissue that transports food in plants.
4. Tissue that stores fat in our body.
5. Connective tissue with a fluid matrix.
6. Tissue present in the brain.

Answer 1

(a) Tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth is Squamous epithelium.
(b) Tissue that connects muscle to bone in humans is Tendon.
(c) Tissue that transports food in plants is Phloem.
(d) Tissue that stores fat in our body is Adipose tissue.
(e) Connective tissue with a fluid matrix is Blood.
(f) Tissue present in the brain is Nervous tissue.

Answer 2

a) Squamous epithelium:
The squamous epithelium is made up of a single layer of flattened cells. Their thinness facilitates the easy transmission of materials.

b) Tendon:
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones. Tendons link muscles to bones, facilitating movement.

c) Phloem:
Phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting and distributing organic nutrients. It is located in the stems and leaves, typically on the outer side of the vascular bundle. Phloem transports food and nutrients, such as sugars and amino acids, from the leaves to the storage organs and growing parts of the plant.

d) Adipose tissue (AT):
Adipose tissue is one of the major endocrine organs in the human body. In the integumentary system, it accumulates in the deepest layer, known as the subcutaneous layer, providing insulation from heat and cold.

e) Blood:
Blood is a fluid composed of plasma and cells that circulate throughout the body. It helps maintain internal body temperature by absorbing or releasing heat. Blood absorbs oxygen from the lungs and transports it to various cells in the body. Waste carbon dioxide is carried from the blood to the lungs to be exhaled.

f) Nervous tissue:
Nervous tissue consists of highly specialized cells in the brain and central nervous system that regulate an organism's actions. It provides electrical insulation to nerve cells and removes debris. Nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting messages from other neurons to the cell body.
