Neural Tissue is Characterized by ________

Question

Neural tissue is characterized by ________.
A) extremely long cells
B) cells with branching processes
C) neuroglia with varied functions
D) the ability to transmit electrical impulses
E) All of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Neural tissue is composed of neurons and neuroglia, all of which have varied functions. Neurons have extremely long extensions called dendrites and axons, which allow for the transmission of electrical impulses. Neuroglia, or glial cells, provide support and protection to the neurons. Overall, the characteristics of neural tissue include both the ability to transmit electrical impulses and the presence of varied cell types with branching processes.
