Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The function of the Nervous Tissue is to conduct messages from the Brain and Spinal Cord to each body part. TRUE OR FALSE?
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of nervous tissue is to receive stimuli and send signals to the brain and spinal cord. These signals are sent to the muscles via the nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord: The brain controls how we think, learn, move, and feel. The spinal cord carries messages back and forth between the brain and the nerves that run throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are several types of neuroglia: Astroglial cells, also called astrocytes, are star-shaped cells found in the brain and spinal cord. They provide nutrients to neurons, maintain ion balance, and remove unneeded excess neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. Ependymal cells are also found in the CNS.
