    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The epithelial tissue forms a continuous layer over the free surfaces of may other tissues. Consequently it covers the external surface of the animal body and the internal (luminal) surfaces of visceral organs, body cavities and blood vessels. Thus it protect the underlying and overlying tissues. Another important function of epithelial tissue is exchange of materials. Through diffusion, osmosis and filtration they can exchange material (e.g. squamous epithelium) found in pulmonary alveoli, Bowman?s capsule etc.
