The tissue specialised for contraction and movement is:

Answer: muscular tissue.

  • A muscular tissue
  • B epithelial tissue
  • C nervous tissue
  • D bone tissue

Correct answer: A. muscular tissue

Explanation: Muscular tissue contracts to produce movement.

The four basic animal tissue types and their core functions: epithelial (covering/lining), connective (support and transport), muscular (movement), and neural (signal conduction).

Concept context

The four basic animal tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscular, neural) and the cockroach as a model organism for organ-system level organisation.
