General characteristics of nervous tissue?

There are several characteristics of nervous tissue that make them easy to identify. Nervous tissue is made of many cells packed closely together, and most are strongly branching. There are two main groups of cells: the neurons, and the glial cells. You will find nervous tissue in the brain and spinal cord, and in the nerves and their associated ganglia. Nervous tissue is the main component of the nervous system, which regulates and controls body functions.


What technique of studying the brain involves recording the electrical activity of large groups of cortical neurons?

The technique of studying the brain involving the electrical activity of the large groups of cortical neurons is calles an EEG. The process of conducting an EEG is to place electrodes on different parts of the scalp and recording the electrical signals.


How is nerve impulse conducted along a myelinated nerve fiber?

In non-myelinated axons, the nerve impulse is going to be produced when the action potential accross a membrane makes a wave of depolarization followed by a wave of repolarization. With the absence of the myelin, the impulse is transmitted continuously throughout the membrane. In a non-myelinated nerve, once an end of the cell, the dendrite, is depolarized, the depolarization a.k.a., the action potential, moves along the nerve membrane, and the area of membrane immediately behind the depolarized section becomes repolarized.
