Activity 3: Nervous Tissue and Examining Nervous Tissue Under the Microscope Flashcards

Nervous tissue is made up of what 2 cell populations?

1. Neuroglia
2. Neurons

What are neuroglia cells?

Cells that protect, support, and insulate neurons.

What are neuron cells?

Cells that receive stimuli (excitability) and generate electrical
signals to other parts of the body (conductivity).

3 functions of nervous tissue.

1. Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to
effectors (muscles and glands).
2. Support neurons
3. Protect neurons
