Question

select the correct answer. which type of tissue performs the role of signal conduction in the body? a. connective tissue b. epithelial tissue c. muscle tissue d. nervous tissue

Explanation:

To determine the tissue for signal conduction, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Connective tissue supports, binds, or protects other tissues (e.g., bone, blood), not signal conduction.
• Option B: Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces or lines cavities, involved in protection/absorption, not signal conduction.
• Option C: Muscle tissue enables movement (voluntary/involuntary), not signal conduction.
• Option D: Nervous tissue (neurons) transmits electrical signals (nerve impulses) for communication in the body.

Answer:

D. nervous tissue
