The tissue that controls and coordinates body functions is which type?

• A. Muscle
• B. Epithelial
• C. Nerve
• D. Connective

Answer: (C)

Nerve tissue is responsible for controlling and coordinating body functions by transmitting electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. This network enables sensing, thought, motor control, and automatic processes that keep the body running. In cosmetology, nerves in the skin provide sensation—touch, pain, and temperature—which helps you understand how a treatment feels to the client and how their body might respond. Muscle tissue is what actually moves when stimulated by nerves, epithelial tissue lines and protects surfaces, and connective tissue supports and connects structures.
