B
Tissue responsible for protecting, supporting, and binding together other body tissues
C
Tissues that contracts and shortens to produce movement
D
Tissue that receives and conducts electrochemical impulses from one part of the body to another
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons. Neurons, or nerve cells, carry out the functions of the nervous system by conducting nerve impulses. They are highly specialized and amitotic.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells in nervous tissue that generate and conduct impulses are called neurons or nerve cells. These cells have three principal parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and one axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thalamus: The thalamus is the relay center of the brain. It receives afferent impulses from sensory receptors located throughout the body and processes the information for distribution to the appropriate cortical area.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons are well suited for the transmission of nerve impulses because short extensions, dendrites, receive impulses from other neurons, while a long tail extension, an axon, carries electrical impulses away from the cell to other neurons.
