The Different Types of Tissue

Nerve tissue is composed both of neurons which actually do the transmission of energy and also neuroglia cells which sort of assist neurons. There are a few different types of nerves, tissues or nerve cells. Nervous tissue is perhaps the most specialised because it's only purpose is in generating and transmitting electrical impulses throughout the body. Now I'll go into muscles more detail when we talk about the muscular system but I'm just introducing that the tissue now so that we can have that as background knowledge for later.
