MT 30 LAB – H 4 years, 3 months ago Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is in charge of coordinating and controlling various bodily functions. It promotes muscular contraction, raises environmental awareness, and is involved in emotions, memory, and thinking.The Cerebrum is a large, folded mass of nervous tissue that makes up most of the human brain. Many ridges of cerebral tissue, called gyri (singular: gyrus), extend from the surface of the Cerebrum and are bordered by grooves in the Cerebrum.
In the Cerebellum, there are parallel grooves that conceal that it is a continuous thin layer of tissue (the cerebellar cortex), tightly folded in an accordion style. This thin layer contains several types of neurons with a highly regular arrangement, most importantly Purkinje cells and granule cells.
A Spinal Ganglion is a cluster of nerve bodies positioned along the spinal cord at the dorsal and ventral roots of a spinal nerve.
