Question

the stomach is a hollow organ in the body that breaks down swallowed food. it is lined with epithelial tissue, which releases chemicals that break down food. muscle tissue in the stomach expands and contracts to mix the food and chemicals. the stomach has connective tissue to bind it to blood vessels and nerves. nervous tissue in the stomach tells the other tissues in the stomach when to contract and release chemicals. select evidence that supports the claim that tissues within an organ work together. without muscle tissue, swallowed food and chemicals released by epithelial tissue wouldnt get mixed in the stomach to help break down and digest food. the stomach is a hollow organ in the body that is lined with epithelial tissue. connective tissue binds blood vessels to the stomach, which provides muscle tissue with the blood supply it needs to expand and contract. without nervous tissue, epithelial tissue in the stomach would not receive the signal to release chemicals.

Explanation:

• The first option shows muscle tissue and epithelial tissue working together.
• The third option shows connective tissue and muscle tissue working together.
• The fourth option shows nervous tissue and epithelial tissue working together.
• The second option only describes the stomach being lined with epithelial tissue and does not show tissues working together.

Answer:

• Without muscle tissue, swallowed food and chemicals released by epithelial tissue wouldn't get mixed in the stomach to help break down and digest food.
• Connective tissue binds blood vessels to the stomach, which provides muscle tissue with the blood supply it needs to expand and contract.
• Without nervous tissue, epithelial tissue in the stomach would not receive the signal to release chemicals.
