❖ The most complex tissue in the body composed of densely packed interconnected nerve cells called neurons (excitable cells and unit of neural system).

❖ Neural tissue exerts the greatest control over the body's responsiveness to changing conditions.

❖ The Neuroglial cell which constitute the rest of neural system protect and support neuron and make up more than 50% volume of neural tissue.

❖ It is specialised in communication between the various parts of the body and in integration of their activities.

❖ When a neuron is suitably stimulated, an electrical disturbance is generated which swiftly travels along its plasma membrane.

❖ Arrival of the disturbance at the neuron's endings or output zone, triggers events that may cause stimulation or inhibition of adjacent neurons and other cells.
