Which of the following is primarily responsible for the movement of the human body?

The correct answer is combination of nervous and muscular tissues.

Key Points

• Animals can move quickly in reaction to stimuli thanks to both their muscular and neurological systems.
• Neurons take in a stimulus and send it on to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
• Motor neurons then transmit the response impulse back to the effector organ, which is typically a muscle in most situations.
• Muscles respond to an impulse by moving in the desired direction.

Additional Information

•  Connective tissue
  • Supporting tissue protects and supports the body's other tissues and organs.
  • In addition to helping to transport nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, connective tissue also helps to store fat and mend damaged tissue.
  • A gel-like substance, fibres, and cells make up connective tissue.
• Epithelial tissue
  • The epithelium is a type of body tissue that covers all of the internal and exterior body surfaces, lines hollow organs and body cavities, and makes up the majority of glandular tissue.
• Muscular tissue
  • Specialized cells called muscle fibres make up the muscular system. Its primary characteristic is its capacity to contract.
  • Muscles that are attached to bones, internal organs, or blood arteries are what move things.
  • Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue are the three different types of muscle tissue.
