Question: 1 / 125
What tissue carries messages to and from the brain and coordinates body functions?
Muscle
Nerve
Nerve tissue is the correct answer because it is responsible for carrying messages to and from the brain and coordinating body functions. Muscle tissue can contract and relax to produce movement, but it does not send messages to the brain. Skeletal tissue is responsible for forming the framework of the body, while epithelial tissue lines and protects internal and external surfaces of the body. However, neither of these tissues are involved in carrying messages to and from the brain and coordinating body functions.
