1.	What is nervous tissue ?and also define neuron
Answer» Nervous tissue makes the nervous system and is composed of specialized cells called neuron. A neuron can be divided into two distinct parts, viz. head and tail. The head is somewhat star-shaped and contains nucleus and some other cell organelles. This is called cyton. There are numerous hair-like outgrowths coming out of the cyton. These are called dendrites. The tail ends in axon terminals. Dendrites receive the nerve impulse, while axon relays the nerve signals.Nerve cells are also known as neurons. These are the primary building blocks of the nervous system in humans and animals. Its main function is transmitting and receiving electrochemical messages. They help in the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system and the regulation and control of organs in the body.
