Detailed explanation-1: -The actual nerve cell is the neuron. It is the “conducting” cell that transmits impulses and the structural unit of the nervous system. The other type of cell is neuroglia, or glial, cell. The word “neuroglia” means “nerve glue.” These cells are nonconductive and provide a support system for the neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nervous tissue is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells. Neurons are the primary type of cell that most anyone associates with the nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. They help in transmitting the nerve impulse. Neuroglia are the supporting cells. Neurons are like the communication network of the body whereas neuroglia facilitates the functioning of the communications network.
