Question

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 the true statements. each organ in the human body is made up of a single type of tissue. epithelial tissue signals muscle tissue to contract in the stomach. epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food. the arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function.

Explanation:

The first statement is false because the text shows the stomach has multiple tissues (epithelial, muscle, connective, nervous). The second statement is false as nervous tissue signals muscle tissue (not epithelial). The third statement is true as all four tissues (epithelial, muscle, connective, nervous) are described working in the stomach. The fourth statement is true because the arrangement of tissues (each with its role) helps the stomach function (break down food).

Answer:

C. Epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food.
D. The arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function.
