question # 5
multiple choice
which statement best describes the function of the nervous system?

the nervous system is responsible for supporting the body.

the nervous system is responsible for sending and receiving signals.

the nervous system has tissue that connects the body parts.

the nervous system is responsible for eliminating waste.

Explanation:

The nervous system's main function is communication. Neurons send (transmit) and receive signals (electro - chemical impulses) to coordinate body activities like movement, sensation, and thought.
Supporting the body is more related to the skeletal system. Connective tissue (connecting body parts) is a feature of connective tissue types (not the main nervous system function). Eliminating waste is for excretory systems (like the urinary system).

Answer:

The nervous system is responsible for sending and receiving signals.
