The heart is the structure that pumps blood to the rest of the body. It’s composed of and surrounded by four kinds of tissues—co

nnective, muscle, epithelial and nervous tissues. How do you think the four tissue types support the function of the heart? How do the different tissue types support the idea that systems of specialized cells are critical for body functions?

Connective tissue holds the heart in place as the body moves. Muscle tissues and nervous tissues work together to pump the heart, enabling it to push blood through the circulatory system. Epithelial tissue protects the heart when the body moves so that other structures don’t damage it. The different types of tissues are made of different types of cells, and each tissue performs different functions for the body. These facts support the statement that systems of specialized cells are important for all body functions.

<span>Humans—and other large multicellular animals—are made up of four basic tissue types: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. 
</span>Epithelial tissue<span> consists of tightly packed sheets of cells that cover surfaces—including the outside of the body—and line body cavities. For instance, the outer layer of your skin is an epithelial tissue, and so is the lining of your small intestine.</span>
Epithelial cells are polarized, meaning that they have a top and a bottom side. The apical<span>, top, side of an epithelial cell faces the inside of a cavity or the outside of a structure and is usually exposed to fluid or air. The </span>basal<span>, bottom, side faces the underlying cells. For instance, the apical sides of intestinal cells have finger-like structures that increase surface area for absorbing nutrients.
</span>
Connective tissue
 consists of cells suspended in an extracellular matrix. In most cases, the matrix is made up of protein fibers like collagen and fibrin in a solid, liquid, or jellylike ground substance. Connective tissue supports and, as the name suggests, connects other tissues.

Muscle tissue<span> is essential for keeping the body upright, allowing it to move, and even pumping blood and pushing food through the digestive tract.</span>

Nervous tissue<span> is involved in sensing stimuli—external or internal cues—and processing and transmitting information. It consists of two main types of cells: neurons, or nerve cells, and glia.
</span>
All of these tissues are essential in keeping the body running, including the cardiovascular system in which the heart is involved. All of these tissues play a key role in maintaining the function of the heart, whether it be indirectly, or directly, each of these will keep your heart sustained, but without them you wont live long lol. 
Hope this helped.

If a wide-spectrum fungicide that kills all fungal species were used extensively in a forest, what effects would you expect the
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

It would harm the few plants that benefit from mutualistic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal relationship is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants. While the plant provides the fungi with food, the fungi supply the plant with nutrients and water extracted from the soil.

<em>Hence, if a wide-spectrum fungicide is used in a forest and it kills all the fungi in the forest, it will affect all the plants that share beneficial relationship with fungi in the forest.</em>

A while mates with a blavk hen. The offspring is gray color. What is this phenomenon called
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Incomplete Dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which the alleles of two genes are not completely dominant over each other and so when they are present at the same time in an organism (heterozygous for that gene) the organism will have an intermediate phenotype that is a combination of both phenotypes.

For example: The flower color in Snapdragon can have three different genotypes as well as phenotypes. The flowers can be red, pink or white depending on their genotype. The allele for red flower (R) is incompletely dominant over allele of white flower (r). A plant with genotype RR will be red flowered and that with rr will be white flowered. However, if a plant has genotype Rr (intermediate), then the flowers will be white in which no allele was dominant over the other and both showed their effect giving a combination of two colors as Pink flowers.

Same is the case with the mating between white and black hen, where offspring was grey in color. This grey was a combination phenotype of two phenotypes.

Hope it helps!
