Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organ is defined as 2 or more tissues working together to perform a specific task. Therefore, the classification of the five regions of the vertebrate brain listed above cannot be answered with option A or B as they refer to a single or glandular tissue respectively. Option D is also incorrect as it specifically refers to muscle tissue. Therefore, the best choice is option C, as the brain regions are made up of various types of tissues working together to facilitate specific functions.
