Irritability and Conductivity are the Two Major Functional Characteristics of ________

Question

Irritability and conductivity are the two major functional characteristics of ________.
A) epithelial tissue
B) nervous tissue
C) loose connective tissue
D) dense connective tissue

Accepted Answer

Irritability and conductivity are key functions of the nervous tissue, which is responsible for sending and receiving signals throughout the body. Epithelial tissue primarily functions in protection, secretion, and absorption, while connective tissue provides support and structure to the body. While some types of connective tissue contain cells that can exhibit irritability and conductivity, these are not their primary functions as a tissue type.
