Study Notes

Neural Tissue Control

  • Neural tissue has the greatest control over the body's response to changes.
  • Neurons are the fundamental units of the nervous system.
  • Neurons are excitable cells, capable of generating electrical disturbances.
  • Neuroglia are cells that support and protect neurons.
  • Neuroglia make up over half the volume of neural tissue.
  • Electrical disturbances travel rapidly along neuron's plasma membrane when stimulated.
