Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body. Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network. Different neurons have different jobs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interneurons. Interneurons, which are found only in the CNS, connect one neuron to another. They receive information from other neurons (either sensory neurons or interneurons) and transmit information to other neurons (either motor neurons or interneurons).

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites receive messages from other neurons. Axon sends messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Motor neurons relay messages from the brain and spinal cord to muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nervous tissue is responsible for the transmission of messages to the brain and other parts of the body.
