Epithelial cells form the thin layer of cells known as the endothelium, which is continuous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin, and heart.

The cells in epithelial tissue are very closely packed together and joined with little space between them. With its tightly packed structure, we would expect epithelial tissue to serve some type of barrier and protective function and that is certainly the case. For example, the skin is composed of a layer of epithelial tissue (epidermis) that is supported by a layer of connective tissue. It protects the internal structures of the body from damage and dehydration.

Epithelial tissue also helps to protect against microorganisms. The skin is the body's first line of defense against bacteria, viruses, and other microbes.

Tpy6a [65]

The distance between 1 and 7 spans a sarcomere correspond the structure at B is covered by the perimysium.

<h3>What is the smallest contractile unit within skeletal muscle?</h3>

A sarcomere comprises the segment between two consecutive Z lines and is the contractile unit of the muscle fiber, as it is the smallest portion of the muscle fiber capable of contraction and distension.

In this case, the distance between points 1 and 7 has the smallest structure of a skeletal muscle and corresponds to figure B.

3. Metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies blood, makes bile - Liver

4. Stores and concentrates bile - Gallbladder

5. Removes waste products and excess fluid - Kidney

6. Filtering structure of kidney - Nephron

8. Produces sperm and reproductive hormone - Testis

Explanation:

This question is asking to correctly match certain digestive organs with their respective function. The organs and their function are as follows:

- Small intestine: Small intestine is the major organ that digests food chemically, and also absorbs nutrients and minerals from food.

- Stomach: This breaks down and physically digests food.

- Liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, detoxification of blood, and making of bile.

- Gall bladder is a greenish yellow organ responsible for the storage and concentration of the bile produced by the liver.

- Kidney is the major excretory organ of the body, which removes waste products and excess fluid from the body.
