- Nervous system
- endocrine system
one part that overlaps
secretes hormones but part of the brain
Hypothalamus

comprised of endocrine system
cells and glands that releases hormones
what is the response rate of nervous tissue

What is CNS
Central nervous system
Two divisions of the nervous system
- CNS
- PNS
what is in the CNS
- brain
- spinal cord
in the PNS
all other nervous tissues
Nervous tissue if part of the 4 basic tissues
true
where does the NT arise from
Embryonic Ectoderm
is NT celullar
it is high in cellularity
does NT have intercellular substances
very little
Is NT mixed with extracellular material
it is DEVOID of ECM except for connective tissues and blood vessels
what is in thr PNS
mainly connective tissues
what is the composition of NT
-NEurons (nerve cells)
- Neurological cells
or known as glial cells
what are glial cells
supporting cells
what is the most functional unit of Nerve tissue
Neuron
what is the most morphological variable cell type in the body
Neuron
3 types of neurons
- stellate
- pyramidal
- flask shaped neurons
where are stellate neurons found
- spinal cord and motor nuclei. grey matter
