Nervous tissue (also called neural tissue, or nerve tissue) is the main tissue component of the two parts of the nervous system; the brainand spinal cord of the central nervous system(CNS), and the branching peripheral nerves of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which regulates and controls bodily functions and activity. It is composed of neurons, or nerve cells, which receive and transmit impulses, and neuroglia, also known as glial cells or more commonly as just glia (from the Greek, meaning glue), which assist the propagation of the nerve impulse as well as providing nutrients to the neuron.

Nervous tissue is made up of different types of nerve cells, all of which have an axon, the long stem-like part of the cell that sends action potential signals to the next cell. Bundles of axons make up the nerves.

Functions of the nervous system are sensoryinput, integration, control of muscles and glands, homeostasis, and mental activity.

Neuroglia encompasses the non-neural cells in nervous tissue that provide various crucial supportive functions for neurons. They are smaller than neurons, and vary in structure according to their function.neuroglia found in the CNSastrocytes,microglia cell, ependymal cell and oligodendrocytes..
