The spleen also removes foreign matter such as bacteria and produces lymphocytes, cells that are essential for immunity.

lions [1.4K]
<span>Answer B, skin, is an example of epithelial tissue. All other answer are examples of different types of tissue; Bone being osseous tissue, fat being connective tissue and muscle being muscle tissue. Nervous tissue is one of the types that has cells that expand across the entire human body. Nerves can be both long and reach every corner of the body. The other type of tissue that can cross the entire body is epithelial. This type of tissue does not produce large cells that span great distances on/in the body. But, these cells do provide the lining throughout the body and are the tissue that makes up the protective layer called skin. Both connective tissue and muscle tissue form large amounts of tissue in the body but they do not expand to all reaches of it.</span>
