The four sketches (A, B, C and D) given below, represent four different types of animal tissues. Which one of these is correctly identified in the options given, along with its correct location and function ? [Figure]

  1. (A) Tissue Columnar epithelium, Location Nephron, Function Secretion and absorption
  2. (C) Tissue Collagen fibres, Location Cartilage, Function Attach skeletal muscles to bones
  3. (B) Tissue Glandular epithelium, Location Intestine, Function Secretion
  4. (D) Tissue Smooth muscle tissue, Location Heart, Function Heart contraction

Answer

(3) (B) Tissue Glandular epithelium, Location Intestine, Function Secretion

Solution

(A) is columnar epithelium; it lines the stomach and intestine (not the nephron, whose tubules are lined by cuboidal epithelium) ⇒ option (1) is wrong.

(C) is dense regular connective tissue (bundles of collagen fibres) found in tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to bones — not cartilage ⇒ option (2) is wrong.

(B) shows epithelial cells with large secretory (goblet) cells. As per NCERT, some columnar or cuboidal cells get specialised for secretion and are called glandular epithelium, e.g. goblet cells of the alimentary canal (intestine) ⇒ option (3) is correct.

(D) has striated, branched cells joined by intercalated discs ⇒ cardiac muscle, not smooth muscle ⇒ option (4) is wrong.

Answer: (3)
