Nervous tissue coordinates body functions and carries messages to and from brain and spinal cord.

• A. Epithelial
• B. Connective
• C. Nervous
• D. Muscular

Answer: (C)

Nervous tissue is specialized for communication and control in the body. It coordinates body functions and carries messages to and from the brain and spinal cord because it contains neurons that rapidly transmit electrical signals, along with supporting glial cells that maintain the environment for signaling. These signals travel through networks from sensory receptors to the brain and back to effectors like muscles or glands, enabling sensation, processing, and response. This tissue forms the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, linking the central nervous system to the rest of the body. Epithelial tissue lines surfaces and forms glands; connective tissue provides support and binding; muscular tissue contracts to produce movement. In this context, nervous tissue best fits the idea of coordinating and transmitting information throughout the body.
