Detailed explanation-3: -Nervous tissue, present in both the CNS and PNS, contains two basic types of cells: neurons and glial cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons are information messengers. They use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system.
