Question

select evidence that supports the claim that tissues within an organ work together.

• 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.
• 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.

Explanation:

These statements show interactions between different tissues (connective, muscle, nervous, epithelial) in the stomach to perform organ functions (contraction, chemical release, food mixing), demonstrating teamwork. The fourth option only describes the presence of epithelial tissue without showing interaction with other tissues.

Answer:

1. Connective tissue binds blood vessels to the stomach, which provides muscle tissue with the blood supply it needs to expand and contract.
2. Without nervous tissue, epithelial tissue in the stomach would not receive the signal to release chemicals.
3. 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.
