Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the function described in the problem. The conduction of electrical impulses is a key physiological process that allows communication between different parts of the body, such as the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

Step 2: Review the characteristics of the tissue types provided in the options: - Nervous tissue: Specialized for transmitting electrical signals and consists of neurons and supporting cells. - Connective tissue: Provides structural support and connects other tissues but does not conduct electrical impulses. - Epithelial tissue: Covers surfaces and forms protective barriers but is not involved in electrical conduction. - Muscle tissue: Responsible for contraction and movement, and while it can respond to electrical signals, it is not specialized for conduction.

Step 3: Match the function described (conduction of electrical impulses) to the correct tissue type. Nervous tissue is the only tissue specialized for this function.

Step 4: Eliminate incorrect options based on their primary functions: - Connective tissue, epithelial tissue, and muscle tissue do not specialize in electrical impulse conduction.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'nervous tissue,' as it is specifically designed for the conduction of electrical impulses through neurons.
