Introduction: The cells having a similar structure and function associate with each other to form a tissue. In a body, the tissues are classified on the basis of their different structures and functions. In the animal body, the major types of tissues are muscle, nervous, epithelial, and connective tissues.

Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: Tissue that is specialized to conduct electrical signals from one structure in the body to another structure is nervous tissue. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Nervous tissues are made up of nerve cells which are known as neurons. These neurons are the cells specialized to receive information from one part of the body and send it to another part of the body. The activities of the cells are regulated by nervous tissues in the body.
Option c. is given as “nervous”.
Nervous tissues are responsible to transmit signals from one part to another part of the body. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Reasons for incorrect answers:
Option a. is given as, “epithelial”.
Epithelial tissues are made up of densely packed cells which act as a sheath and cover the body and its organs. The function of epithelial tissues is to protect the body from external environmental damage and to release some organic molecules. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “connective”.
The tissues which form a connection between the structures of the body are known as connective tissue. Blood is an example of connective tissue. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “muscle”.
Muscle tissues are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of the muscles. These tissues play an important role in the movement of the animal’s body. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
Thus, electrical signals are conducted by the nervous tissues.
