Retina of the eye
nervous tissue
The layer of tissue that becomes the nervous tissue and skin is called the ectoderm.
The unit of nervous tissue is called the neuron.
A functional property of nervous tissue called irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse.
Nervous tissues are notorious for conducting the electrical as well as chemical impulses. The later occurring at synapsis which is the cleft between the connection of two nerve endings. Also heart cells can conduct electrochemical impulses.
The spinal chord is entirely made up of nervous tissue. The white part is the axons of the nuerones and the grey part is the cell bodies.
brain
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
The membrane of the eye that contains nerve cells is called the retina. It is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye and is responsible for converting light into neural signals, which are then sent to the brain for processing. The retina contains photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are essential for vision.
neurons
The functional unit of the nervous system is a cell called the neuron.
Nerve tissue consists of nerve cells, nerve fibers, dendrites, and neuroglia. It is packed closely together and most are strongly branching. Its function are to regulate and control body processes.
