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.
