Answer:

lungs

Explanation:

Inhaling silica causes permanent damage to the lungs and can lead to death.

When people inhale crystalline silica, the tissue present in the lungs reacts and develope fibrotic nodules. It also scars the lung tissue around the trapped silica particles. If these fibrotic nodules grow large, breathing becomes difficult.

Breathing in crystalline silica dust can cause a severe even fatal case called silicosis. When silica enters into the lungs, it causes the formation of scar tissue and makes it difficult for the lungs to take oxygen. There is no cure to silicosis.

Therefore, Inhaling crystalline silica affects the lungs.

Crystalline silica is a natural compound in the earth's crust and is a basic component of sand and granite. Silicosis is an incurable disease of the lungs caused by breathing crystalline silica dust. This dust can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs.

igomit [66]

Epidermal tissue system is the outermost covering of plants. It consists of epidermis, stomata and epidermal outgrowths. Epidermis is generally composed of single layer of parenchymatous cells compactly arranged without intercellular spaces. But it is interrupted by stomata. In leaves some specialized cells which surround the stomata are called the guard cells.
