Question

Tissue that is specialized for contraction is ________ tissue.
A) loose connective
B) dense connective
C) epithelial
D) nerve
E) muscle

Accepted Answer

Muscle tissue is specialized for contraction, and there are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Loose connective tissue is not specialized for contraction, but rather fills spaces between organs and provides cushioning. Dense connective tissue provides structural support but is not specialized for contraction. Epithelial tissue covers and lines surfaces of the body but does not contract. Nerve tissue carries electrical signals but does not contract.
