Question

Functions of nervous tissue

Answer 1

Nervous tissue or nerve tissue is the main tissuecomponent of the two parts of the nervoussystem; the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system (CNS), and the branching peripheral nerves of the peripheral nervoussystem (PNS), which regulates and controls bodily functions and activity.

The function of nervous tissue is to form the communication network of the nervous system by conducting electric signals across tissue.In the CNS, grey matter, which contains the synapses, is important for information processing. White matter, containing myelinated axons, connects and facilitates nerve impulse between grey matter areas in the CNS.In the PNS, the ganglion tissue, containing the cell bodies and dendrites, contain relay points for nerve tissueimpulses. The nerve tissue, containing myelinated axons bundles, carry action potential/nerve impulses.

Answer 2

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 grouped into two main categories: neurons and neuroglia. Neurons, or nerves, transmit electrical impulses, while neuroglia do not; neuroglia have many other functions including supporting and protecting neurons. tissue or nerve tissue is the main tissuecomponent of the two parts of the nervoussystem; the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system (CNS), and the branching peripheral nerves of the peripheral nervoussystem (PNS), which regulates and controls bodily functions and activity.
