Explain the structure, function and location of nervous tissue |
|
Answer» Structure Of Nervous Tissue:-It is made of NERVE cells or neurons, all of which consists of an axon. Axons are long stem-like PROJECTIONS emerging out of the cell, responsible for communicating with other cells called the Target cells, thereby passing impulsesThe main PART is the cell body which contains the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell organelles. Extensions of the cell membrane are referred to as processes.Dendrite is a highly branched processes, responsible for receiving information from other neurons and synapses (specialized point of contact)....... Nervous Tissue Location:-The nerve tissue or the nervous tissue is the chief tissue component of the two major parts of the nervous tissue – Central nervous system(CNS) formed by the spinal cord and the brain and the BRANCHING peripheral nerves of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that control and REGULATE the functions of the body and their activities.The nervous tissue is located in the peripheral nerves all through the body and also in the organs of the central nervous system such as the spinal cord and the brain. The nervous tissue consists of the nerve cells or the neurons. .....! Function Of Nervous Tissue:-• Neurons generate and carry out nerve impulses. •They produce electrical signals that are transmitted across distances, they do so by secreting chemical neurotransmitters.•Responds to stimuli•Carries out communication and integration.... •Provides electrical insulations to nerve cells and removes debris... •Carries messages from other neurons to the cell body.... ! |
