C Correct answer
Explanation

Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart. These muscles show rapid rhythmical contraction and relaxation, long refractory period and do not show fatigue.

Multiple choice

Which of the following acts as a protective tissue in the animal body?

  1. Epithelial tissue

  2. Connective tissue

  3. Muscular tissue

  4. Nervous tissue

  5. Cardiac Muscle

A Correct answer
Explanation

Epithelial tissue forms the protective covering of the animal body. It gets modified to perform various functions such as:

  1. Protection: It acts as a barrier between the outer world (or inner spaces) and our bodies.
  2. Absorption and secretion: When absorption and secretion occurs, the epithelial tissue facilitates movement across the epithelial barrier.
  3. Excretion: Epithelial tissue even lines the excretory lumina, like the tracts from the kidneys to the urethra.
