Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. There are 4 basic types of tissue: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a Nervous Tissue? Nervous or the nerve tissue is the main tissue of our nervous system. It monitors and regulates the functions of the body. Nervous tissue consists of two cells: nerve cells or neurons and glial cells, which helps transmit nerve impulses and also provides nutrients to neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four types of tissues are exemplified in nervous tissue, stratified squamous epithelial tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and connective tissue in small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Epithelial tissues act as coverings controlling the movement of materials across the surface. Connective tissue integrates the various parts of the body and provides support and protection to organs. Muscle tissue allows the body to move. Nervous tissues propagate information.

Detailed explanation-5: -The differentiating factor between the muscular tissue and nervous tissue is that the muscular tissues are involved in the contraction of the muscles. On the other hand, the nervous tissues participate in controlling and coordinating the activities of the body through communication.
