Neurons.
Nervous tissue.
The body tissue that transmits waves of excitation is nervous tissue. This type of tissue is found in the nervous system and it is made up of neurons.
Traveling wave of excitation is known as an action potential in nerve cells or an impulse in muscle cells. This wave allows for communication and coordination of cell activities in the body.
Excitation frequency can be calculated as the reciprocal of the excitation period, which is the time interval between two consecutive excitations. The formula is: Excitation frequency = 1 / Excitation period. Alternatively, if you know the excitation waveform (e.g., sine wave), you can determine the excitation frequency from the period of that waveform.
Nervous tissue is the major tissue type that transmits waves of excitation in the form of electrical impulses throughout the body. These electrical impulses allow for communication between different parts of the body and are essential for functions like muscle movement and sensory perception.
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy.
The wave of excitation through nerve fibers and neurons is known as an action potential. It is an electrochemical signal that allows for the transmission of information within the nervous system. This process involves the movement of ions across the cell membrane, resulting in the propagation of the action potential along the length of the nerve fiber or neuron.
That's called a wave.

A traveling wave of excitation is commonly known as an action potential. It is a brief electrical impulse that travels along the length of a nerve cell or muscle fiber, allowing for rapid communication and coordination within the body.
The details vary, depending on the type of wave. For example, in a sound wave, one particle bumps into the next, and transmits the kinetic energy.
The name of a disturbance that transmits energy through matter and space is a "wave." This can include various types of waves such as sound waves, light waves, or seismic waves.
