GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together (bone, blood, and lymph tissues).

Detailed explanation-2: -Bone is a type of connective tissue that provides structure to the body and supports muscles and other tissue. It consists of cells along with a large amount of extracellular matrix containing calcium phosphate. Choice (b) is incorrect because epithelial tissue lines surfaces such as the skin and digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-3: -Connective tissue. Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue type in the body. In general, connective tissue consists of cells and an extracellular matrix.

Detailed explanation-4: -As stated, nervous tissue is a specialized epithelial tissue. Epithelia are sheets of cells that cover surfaces or line cavities of the body and in places grow into subjacent connective tissue to form hair follicles, glands, or other derivatives.
