A non-connective tissue is:

Correct answer: C. Neuron

  • A. Areolar tissue
  • B. Tendon
  • C. Neuron
  • D. Ligament

Explanation

Neurons are specialized cells that make up nervous tissue, which is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body. Unlike connective tissues, such as areolar tissue, tendons, and ligaments, which support, bind, or separate other tissues and organs, neurons are involved in communication within the nervous system. Therefore, neurons do not fall under the category of connective tissue, making option C the correct answer.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse

Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
