As epithelial makes the outer covering of all the organs and skin is also made of epithelial...so to be sure that it does not get depleted or destroyed due to friction and other external cause ...it should be highly generative !
<span>Invertebrate<span>, </span>any animal that lacks a vertebral column, or backbone, in contrast to the cartilaginous or bony vertebrates. More than 90 percent of all living animal species are invertebrates. Worldwide in distribution, they include animals as diverse as sea stars, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, insects, spiders, snails, clams, and squid. Invertebrates are especially important as agricultural pests, parasites, or agents for the transmission of parasitic infections to humans and other vertebrates. Invertebrates serve as food for humans and are key elements in food chains that support birds, fish, and many other vertebrate species.Apart from the absence of a vertebral column, invertebrates have little in common. Indeed, they are distributed between more than 35 phyla. In contrast, all vertebrates are contained within a single phylum, the Chordata. (Phylum Chordata also includes the sea squirts and some other invertebrate groups.) Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton (as in most mollusks, crustaceans, and insects) that serves, as well, for body protection.</span>
The appropriate answer is a. to help scientists understand medical issues that cannot be tested on humans. Scientists often use animals that are easy to cultivate and have some similar anatomical feature to humans or have a feature similar to human organs or features. One of the most common model organism is the mice; a specially bred species used for testing in the lab.
