Your answer is incorrect.  Muscular tissue is specialized for an ability to contract. Muscle cells are elongated and referred to as muscle fibers. When a stimulus is received at one end of a muscle cell, a wave of excitation is conducted through the entire cell so that all parts contract in harmony. There are three types of muscle cells: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue. Epithelial tissue is specialized to protect, absorb and secrete substances, and detect sensations.
