Question

tissues can be classified into four main types: connective, muscle, epithelial, and nervous. these tissues can be found working together in organs all over the body. read the passage to learn about the tissues in the stomach. 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 the true statements. 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. 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.

Explanation:

• The first statement is true because the passage clearly states that epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together in the stomach (epithelial releases chemicals, muscle mixes food and chemicals, connective binds to blood vessels and nerves, nervous tells when to contract and release chemicals).
• The second statement is true as the different tissues' arrangements (each with its specific function like in the stomach description) help the stomach carry out its function of breaking down food.
• The third statement is false. The passage says "These tissues can be found working together in organs all over the body" and gives the stomach as an example with multiple tissues, so organs are not made of a single tissue.
• The fourth statement is false. The passage says "Nervous tissue in the stomach tells the other tissues in the stomach when to contract and release chemicals", not epithelial tissue.

Answer:

• "Epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the stomach break down food." is a true statement.
• "The arrangement of its tissues helps the stomach carry out its function." is a true statement.
• "Each organ in the human body is made up of a single type of tissue." is a false statement.
• "Epithelial tissue signals muscle tissue to contract in the stomach." is a false statement.
