Nervous tissue is a specialized form of tissue which is responsible for the conduction of electrical impulses between all parts of the body. It consists of two types of cells: the neurons and the glial cells. Nervous tissue is found in the brain and nerves. The human body is made up of the following organ systems:

PART 1: NERVOUS SYSTEM HISTOLOGY The following is a micrograph of nervous tissue. You can see two neurons and the nuclei of many neuroglial cells. You will learn about the different types of neuroglial cells and their functions during lecture. You must be able to recognize this tissue on an exam. You must also understand the functions of the three different parts of a neuron (dendrites, cell body, and axon). 1. What is this central region of a neuron called? 2. Which cell process carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next cell? 3. Which cell process brings the information from the neighboring cell toward the cell body? 4. What is the general name for the supportive cells in nervous tissue?
