It is composed of neurons, which are the functional units of the nervous system, and neuroglial cells that support and protect neurons. Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites that receive signals, and axons that transmit signals to other neurons or target cells. Nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses, coordinating sensory and motor functions, and regulating physio...
