nervous tissue
neurons or neuroglial cells
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
Actually not, much smaller, in fact.
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglial. The neuroglial are unspecialized cells and are able to perform supporting functions unlike the neurons which are used in key functions.
Schwann cells (PNS)
neuroglial
They maintain homeostasis and provide support and protection to the brain's neurons.
The most abundant cells and are responsible for protecting and supporting the neurons in transmitting cognitive/ sensory information, however do not actually conduct electrical impulses themselves.
Neurons are the basic structural unit of nervous system.But there are other cells called as neuroglial cells (comprise 50% of the total nervous system along with nerve cells) which are also the structural unit of nervous system.Neurons on the other hand are functional unit too but neuroglial cells are not.
Cardiac muscle, neurons.
There two types of cells found in nervous tissue. These two types of cells include: neurons and neuroglial cells.
