Nerve Tissue
History of Adilson Silva - Pernambuco, Brasil
It is responsible for receiving, processing and transmitting information in the body. It is composed of neurons, which generate and conduct nerve impulses, and glial cells, which offer support, protection and nutrition to neurons.
Features:
Formed by neurons (excitable cells) and glial cells (support and nutrition).
Ability to transmit electrical impulses.
High sensitivity to external and internal stimuli.
Classification:
Neurons:
Sensory: Receive stimuli.
Motors: Send commands to muscles or glands.
Interneurons: They make connections between neurons.
Glial cells:
Astrocytes: Support and nutrition.
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells: Myelin formation.
Microglia: Immune defense... Did you know?
