Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following tissues is made up of cells that conduct impulses?
A
Epithelial
B
Connective
C
Muscle
D
Nervous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Two main classes of cells make up nervous tissue: the neuron and neuroglia (Figure 4.5. 1 The Neuron). Neurons propagate information via electrochemical impulses, called action potentials, which are biochemically linked to the release of chemical signals. Neuroglia play an essential role in supporting neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of nervous tissue, neurons, which send electrochemical signals, and neuroglia, which support neurons. Neurons have three main structural parts, dendrites, an axon and a cell body. Dendrites are able to detect messages from other neurons or the environment.
