28 kwi 2017 · Nervous tissue is the term for groups of organized cells in the nervous system, which is the organ system that controls the body’s movements, sends and carries signals to and from the different parts of the body, and has a role in controlling bodily functions such as digestion.
Nervous tissue is characterized as being excitable and capable of sending and receiving electrochemical signals that provide the body with information. Two main classes of cells make up nervous tissue: the neuron and neuroglia (Figure 4.16). Neurons propagate information via electrochemical impulses, called action potentials, which are ...
30 paź 2023 · Afferent (sensory), efferent (motor), mixed. While the structure of a nerve is simple, their functions, innervations and nomenclature can be complex. In this article, we break down the different types of nerves, as well as their morphological features and functions.
8 wrz 2017 · 1 Citations. Abstract. Nerve tissue is one of the one of the four basic tissue types. It consists of nerve cells and glial cells. The glial cells differ between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. This chapter describes the structure and function of nerve cells and their associated glial cells.

3 lis 2023 · Central nervous system (CNS) is the integration and command center of the body. Peripheral nervous system (PNS) represents the conduit between the CNS and the body. It is further subdivided into the somatic nervous system (SNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Nervous tissue is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells. Neurons are responsible for the computation and communication that the nervous system provides. They are electrically active and release chemical signals to communicate between each other and with target cells.
Nervous tissue is characterized as being excitable and capable of sending and receiving electrochemical signals that provide the body with information. Two main classes of cells make up nervous tissue: the neuron and neuroglia (Figure 4.5.1 The Neuron).
