    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.
