Answer 2

Epithelial tissue which lines the spinal cord is known as (C) Ependymal cells.

• The epithelium is one of the four types of tissues found in animals.
• The other three tissues are connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissues.
• In epithelial tissues, cells are arranged continuously. it provides coverage to organs and vessels.
• An example of epithelium tissue is skin.
• Cells of endothelial tissues cover the inner side of arteries, veins, capillaries and other vessels. so, the fluid has direct contact with these vessels.
• Mesothelium provides covering to peritoneum, pericardium and mesentery.
• Cells of the endocardium cover an inner layer of the heart and chordae tendinae and papillary muscles of the heart.
• Ependymal cell lines the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain. they maintain homeostasis and brain metabolism.
