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.
