Verified step by step guidance

Identify the four primary tissue types in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.

Understand that each tissue type has specific functions and characteristics. For example, epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, connective tissue supports and binds other tissues, muscle tissue is responsible for movement, and nervous tissue is involved in transmitting signals.

Recognize that nervous tissue is unique because it consists of two major inter-dependent types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses, while glial cells provide support and protection for neurons.

Consider the role of neurons and glial cells in the nervous system. Neurons communicate through electrical and chemical signals, while glial cells maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons.

Conclude that nervous tissue is the correct answer because it includes these two major inter-dependent types of cells, which work together to perform the complex functions of the nervous system.
