Which type of tissue is characterized by cells found on the internal surface of the stomach, no extracellular matrix, tall and thin cells, and the absence of blood vessels?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The tissue described in the question, where cells are found on the internal surface of the stomach, are tall and thin, lack an extracellular matrix, and do not contain blood vessels, corresponds to epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue functions to protect, absorb, and secrete, making it well-suited for lining surfaces and forming barriers in the body.
