Answer 1

Nervous tissue - answer c

Answer 2

Answer:

C. Nervous

Explanation:

Nerve tissue is sensitive to various types of stimuli that originate from outside or inside the body. When stimulated, this tissue is able to conduct nerve impulses quickly and sometimes over relatively long distances. If a person has a disease that affects this tissue, that person will develop a disease that reduces cellular communication within the body.

The Nervous System is anatomically divided into Central Nervous System (CNS), formed by the brain and spinal cord; 1 and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), formed by nerves and nerve ganglia. Such tissues are composed of neurons and gliocytes (or glial cells).
