Answer #1

Answer

The statement that is true about epitheial tissue is : Epithelial tissue functions in absorption

  • Epithelial tissue consist of tightly packed cells will no extracellumar matrix.
  • The cells functions for protection of underlying tissue, absorption and secretion of substances.

- Epithelial tissue is one of the 4 main tissue types.
- Epithelial tissue do not seceret collagen. Collagen is present in connective tissue.
- Not all epithelium contains cilia.

Hence, only one statement is true. That is : Epithelial tissue functions in absorption
