Which tissue conducts impulses all over the body?

• A. Epithelial Tissue
• B. Muscle Tissue
• C. Nerve Tissue
• D. Connective Tissue

Answer: (C)

Impulse conduction all over the body is the job of nerve tissue. Neurons within nerve tissue generate and propagate electrical signals along their axons, sending impulses from the brain and spinal cord to distant targets like muscles and glands. This fast, long-distance communication enables perception, movement, and reflexes, with myelin speeding up the signals and synapses coordinating across cells. Epithelial tissue forms barriers and surfaces, not rapid signaling. Muscle tissue can contract in response to signals but isn’t the body’s conduit for transmitting impulses across distances. Connective tissue provides support and structure rather than conducting impulses. That’s why nerve tissue is the correct choice.
