Which of the following is made up of smooth muscle tissue?

A. Generating and transmitting impulses is the primary function of nervous tissue, not connective tissue. Nervous tissue is responsible for carrying signals throughout the body.

B. Covering and lining body surfaces is the function of epithelial tissue, which forms the skin and the lining of organs, not connective tissue.

C. Contracting and bringing about movement is the function of muscle tissue, not connective tissue. Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction and body movement.

D. Connective tissue's main function is to bind other tissues together and provide structural support. It includes tissues such as bone, blood, cartilage, and tendons, all of which help support, protect, and connect other tissues and organs.

A. While phagocytes can move to areas of damage, their primary function is not to clump together and adhere to tissues, but rather to engulf and digest foreign materials.

B. Phagocytes, such as macrophages and neutrophils, are specialized white blood cells that ingest and digest foreign pathogens, dead cells, and debris within damaged tissues. This is their main characteristic and function.

C. The release of histamine is typically associated with mast cells, not phagocytes. Histamine helps to initiate inflammatory responses, but phagocytes are involved in engulfing pathogens rather than releasing histamine.

D. Transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues is the role of red blood cells, not phagocytes. Phagocytes are involved in immune defense, not oxygen transport.
