The types of tissue that generate electrical signals would have to be examined on a case-by-case basis. There are a number of creatures that are bioluminescent, that generate light (which is electromagnetic radiation). And there are electric eels and electric catfish that generate a "pulse" of electrical energy. Additionally, many organisms have nervous systems that generate electrical signals as part of their nerve function. The variety of tissues that generate electrical signals varies widely depending on what kind of electricity or electrical signal is being generated. These tissues can generally be studied only individually, as the mechanism of electrical generation by one may be significantly different than that of another.

Nerve tissues generate electrical signals in the body. These signals are known as action potentials, which allow for communication between different parts of the body and are essential for functions like muscle movement, sensation, and processing information in the brain.
Neurons are the main cells that perform the function of transmitting electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. They are specialized for communicating signals between different parts of the body.
Neurons are the cells that conduct electrochemical signals in the nervous system. They are specialized cells that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.
Radio waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to map body tissues. The radio waves are emitted and absorbed by hydrogen atoms in the body, creating a signal that is used to generate detailed images of different tissues based on their water content and density.

Synaptic potential refers to the change in electrical potential at a synapse, where neurons communicate. In the context of pain, the transmission of pain signals between neurons involves synaptic potentials. When pain signals are transmitted across synapses, they can result in the perception of pain in the brain.
