Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary – Epithelium vs Connective Tissue Both tissues are important and they work together. Epithelial cells rest on a basement membrane while connective tissue cells do not rest on a basement membrane. However, connective tissue has a good blood and nerve supply while epithelium does not.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nervous and connective tissue are both made up of cells that work for the same function in the body, which is the definition of tissues. Nervous tissue is made of cells called neurons, which are specialized to transmit electrical impulses.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
