Neurons
What else can I help you with?
What is a compound nervous tissue?
The spinal cord and all nerves are composed of nervous tissue. The myelin sheath conducts nerve impulses.
Which tissue type conducts impulses?
Nerve cells, neurons, are designed to conduct electrical impulses, passing messages between the nerves and other tissues. For example, one impulse is sent to the brain signaling pain when you burn your hand and than another message telling your hand to move off the stove.
What is a functional property of nervous tissue called?
A functional property of nervous tissue called irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse.
What kind of tissue conducts messages from one part of your body to another?
Nervous tissue conducts messages (nerve impulses) throughout the body. It is made up of neurons that transmit electrical signals and support cells called glial cells. This allows for rapid communication between different parts of the body.
Tissue that forms nerves and the brain?
Nervous (nerve) tissue.
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What are the four principal types of tissue?
The four principal types of tissue are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers internal and external body surfaces, connective tissue provides support and structure, muscle tissue allows for movement, and nervous tissue conducts electrical impulses for communication.
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
What are mircroscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
How is a resting potential achieved in the nervous system?
The resting nerve cell is not being stimulated to send a nerve impulse
Type of Tissue that detects changes inside and outside the body and initiates and transmits nerve impulses?
Nervous tissue or Nerve Tissue
What is a disadvantage of unmyelinated nervous tissue when compared to myelinated tissue?
Unmyelinated tissue is substantially slower in conducting impulses along the axon. With myelinated axons, the action potential (impulse) jumps from node to node greatly increasing the speed of the impulse.
