Write true or false.
Epithelial tissue is the protective tissue in an animal's body.
Correct option is A. True
The protective tissues in the animal body are epithelial tissues. They cover most organs and cavities within the body. The skin, the lining of the mouth, the lining of blood vessels, lung alveoli, and kidney tubules are all made of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet. They have only a small amount of cementing material between them and almost no intercellular spaces. Thus, anything entering or leaving the body has to cross at least one layer of epithelium. The skin is made of stratified epithelial tissue. The exposed layer of the cells is keratinized and prevents the entry of water and pathogens into the body.
So, the given statement is 'True'
