    A)  Muscular tissue                              

    B)  Nervous tissue

    C)  Connective tissue          

    D)  Epithelial tissue

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Glands are specialised epithelial cells which synthesize   intracellular   macromolecules (proteins in pancreas, lipids in adrenal glands, , glycoprotein in salivary glands) and pour out the same in the form of a useful secretion, which is different from blood or any other extracellular fluids, glands are of two types Unicellular (single celled) and multicellular gland (several cells compose the gland). Muscular tissue is mesodermal tissue devoid of matrix, which is specialised in contraction due to presence of contractile protein and where the cells are held together by connective tissue. They are of three types (i) Striated muscle or voluntary muscle (ii) Unstriated muscle or involuntary muscle (iii) Cardiac muscle Nervous tissue is tissue of ectodermal origin, which is connected with reception, integration and transmission of stimuli or impulse. It is devoid of matrix. Nerve cells are called neurons. Connective tissue also known as supportive tissue is made up of matrix and living cells that connects, binds and support different tissues or organs. It also has a role in body defence, tissue repair, storage etc. They are mesodermal origin.
