In the human body, tissues are grouped together to form larger functional units called organs. Which specific type of animal tissue is responsible for producing substances like enzymes and hormones?

Describe how glandular tissue and epithelial tissue in the stomach work together to allow for the effective digestion of food while simultaneously protecting the organ from chemical damage.
