False. Epithelial tissue does not send electrical signals throughout the body. Epithelial tissue is responsible for lining and protecting various organs and structures, but it does not have the ability to generate or transmit electrical signals. Electrical signals in the body are primarily sent by specialized cells such as neurons.
The brain
The basic signal in the nervous system is called an action potential. It is a rapid change in the surface charge of the cell membrane from a value around -70mV to 30 mV over several milliseconds controlled by the selective flow of sodium Na+, calcium Ca++ and potassium K+ ions (mostly).
In the body, an electrical impulse travels through the neurons, or nerve cells, to send signals to and from the brain. The Dendrites of the neuron accept the impulse, send it through the soma, down the axon, and to the axon terminal, where it'll be sent to the next neuron, almost instantly.
Electrical or chemical signals may control the movement of ions across cell membranes. Ions are electrically charged particles that play crucial roles in various cellular processes. Electrical signals, such as action potentials, can trigger the opening or closing of ion channels to allow the movement of specific ions. Chemical signals, such as neurotransmitters, can also bind to receptors on the cell membrane to initiate a cascade of events that influence ion movement.

The brain
If the thumbtack manages to poke the Spinal cord it is possible that it can disrupt the electrical signals sent out to the rest of your body and can lead to paralysis.
The spinal cord handles electrical signals sent between the brain and the rest of the body.

They are sent through your nervous system by electric pulses from your brain
Your eardrums take fluctuations of the air pressure on your ears and converts them to electrical pulses, which are sent to the brain. The brain then interprets the electrical signals as different sounds.
There are a few things that pass message from the ear to the brain. The most likely answer is the ear canal.
I don't know but i would like to!
Light rays of differing wavelengths enter the eyes and strike the retina which converts them into electrical signals, these signals are sent to the brain where they are reinterpreted as colours and images.
