The nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Nerve fibers of the spinal cord spread out to the different part of body. These nerve fibers are part of the peripheral nervous system and are the nerves that are found outside the spinal cord and brain.

What is the differences between the nervous tissue and nervous system?

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.
