What is the difference between muscle and nervous tissue?

Answer 1

Nervous tissue is composed of nerves containing neurons, specialized cells. Muscle tissue contains myocytes, which have completely different structure than neurons. Also, muscle is organized in many fibers covered by connective tissue; these fibers build up stronger fibers etc. Neural tissue has different organization.

Answer 2

Nervous tissue is made up of different cells working together to perform a given function -- in this case, to carry messages from one part of the body to another. Different nervous tissues working together make up nervous system organs, such as nerves, the spinal cord, or the brain. These organs work together in the nervous system, a collection of organs performing a body function. So, in sum, the difference between nervous tissue and the nervous system is one of size and scope: nervous tissue makes up nervous organs, which make up the nervous system.

Answer 3

The differences between these two tissue types is nervous tissues use electrical

impulses to carry out their function while on the other hand muscle tissues rely on

contracting of muscles to carry out their functions. Also nerve tissues are formed up from nerve cells called neurons whereas muscles tissues are formed from different types of cells related to their function. Nervous tissues function is to send signals around the body and to communicate within cells whereas muscle tissues function is mainly on movement and protection.

Answer 4

Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction and movement of the body, while nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body. Muscle tissue is made up of muscle fibers, while nervous tissue is made up of neurons. Muscle tissue is involved in movements like walking and running, while nervous tissue is involved in functions like thinking and sensing.

Answer 5

This tissue is very different because this is the only tissue that carries brain signals from the brain to the body.

Answer 6

How is the function of nerve tissue different from that of epithelial tissue?

Answer 7

The two are related in that nervous tissues helps detect stimuli, and muscle tissue helps avoid or embrace it. This is important to animals to be able to avoid dangerous stimuli.
