What type of cells is the brain made up of?
neurons or neuroglial cells
What type of neurons make up the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is made up of two main types of neurons: sensory neurons, which transmit information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which transmit information from the brain to the body.
What type of tissue is the brain made of?
Brain tissues are made of neurons (cells) which together form nervous tissue.The brain is made of neurons, which are long, thin cells with tentacles that can be up to a meter long. There are also up to 50 billion other non-neural cells, such as cells that line the BBB [the blood brain barrier, which prevents encephalitis, or infection and subsequent inflammation of the brain].
What tissue makes up the majority of the brain and spinal cord?
The majority of the brain and spinal cord is made up of nervous tissue, specifically neurons and glial cells. Neurons transmit electrical signals, while glial cells provide support, protection, and nutrition for the neurons.

What is The outermost part of the brain that is made up of tightly packed neurons?
The outermost part of the brain that is made up of tightly packed neurons is the cerebral cortex. It plays a key role in functions such as memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
How many nerves in the human brain?
The human brain does not have nerves. Nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The brain itself is made up of neurons, glial cells, and other supporting structures.
What percentage of an adult's brain is made up of water?
70 percent
Is our spinal cord made of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all the parts of your body?
Well not neurons, there are nerves in the spine. Neurons exist in the brain. With that being said, yes the spine is made of nerves that carry electrical impulses from every region of the body to the brain and from the brain to the body.
What does the nervous system use to relay on messages to the body?
Sensory Neurons- they detect stimuli and transmit signals to the brain and the spinal cord, which are both made up of interneurons
Do muscles send brain messages?
That last answer was wrong because neurons send messages from muscles. The system that does this is called the nervous system. It's a system made up of neurons NOT nerves. There are tons of different neurons, but the three main neurons include sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Motor neurons interact with muscles.
What is neural pathway?
You can think of a brain pathway as a power line that connects two brain regions. Brain pathways are made up of interconnected neurons along which signals are transmitted from one brain region to another.
