• B. Cells of this tissue form a barrier to keep different body systems separate.
• C. Cells of this tissue are embedded in a hard matrix composed of calcium and phosphorus.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cells of this tissue are highly specialised in being stimulated and impulse transmission.

Cells of the nervous tissue possess special properties which are excitability and conductivity. Excitability is the ability to initiate nerve impulse in response to a stimulus. Whereas, conductivity means the ability to transmit the nerve impulse.
