Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Nerve cells, or neurons, have a unique structure where they do not typically form layers or stack together like epithelial cells. Instead, neurons are specialized for transmitting electrical signals throughout the nervous system and have long processes called axons and dendrites that extend from their cell bodies, allowing them to communicate with other neurons without forming distinct layers or sheets. So, the correct option (C): Nerve cells

Animal Tissues

Human bodies, like most animal bodies, are made up of four different types of tissue:

Epithelial Tissue:

This tissue forms the outer layer of the body and also lines many of the body's cavities where it has a protective function.

General functions of epithelial tissue:-

Provides a barrier between the external environment and the organ that it is covering.
Specialized to function in secretion and absorption.
Protects organisms from microorganisms, injury, and fluid loss.

Connective Tissue:

This tissue assists in the support and protection of organs and limbs and depending on the location in the body it may join or separate organs or parts of the body.

Muscle Tissue:

This tissue enables various forms of movement, both voluntary and involuntary.

Nerve Tissue:

This tissue is responsible for the carrying of electrical and chemical signals and impulses from the brain and central nervous system to the periphery, and vice versa.
