Which is the most abundant in the body?
A)Nervous tissue
B)Muscle tissue
C)Epithelial tissue
D)Connective tissue
Solution
In the human body tissue is known as a bunch of cells that perform a particular function as a team and the tissue which is most abundant in a human body is responsible for maintaining the proper formation of the body as it provides the body with cohesion and important tissue in the body.
Complete answer:
Let us first study the options to find the correct answer:
Option A: Nervous tissue is known as the group of organized cells present in the nervous system which is the organ system having a major role in controlling the body functioning, body movements and sending and carrying signals from the different parts of the body. Therefore, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B: In the human body, the soft tissues which compose muscles and give rise to muscle's ability to contract are known as muscle tissue and it is also called my propulsive tissue and it does not have expanded functions like connective tissue therefore, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C: As epithelial tissue is widespread throughout the body and forms all the body covering surfaces but is not abundant like connective tissue, therefore this is an incorrect answer.
Option D: In the body, the connective tissue is the gathering of tissues that keep up the body posture and its organs and give internal support. Connective tissue forms particular variations in bones, tendons, ligaments, etc., and is most abundant in the body. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D)
Note: The human body is composed of four basic tissues and all are important for body functioning and connective tissue performs the function of conduction and transport too. The function of connective tissues in the body are as follows,
1)It helps in storing reserve fuel
2)It helps in transportation of substances within the body
3)It also helps in supporting and binding
4)It also helps in protection of the underlying organs
5)It also provides insulation
