In the body, nervous tissue is a key part of the nervous system. This tissue encompasses two primary types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are the conduits for electrochemical communication in your body. They send vital signals between body regions and the brain. They help you sense things, move, and think. This lets you interact with the world and have conscious experiences.

Glial cells are often overshadowed by neurons. But, still they play an indispensable role in supporting nervous tissue. These cells provide structure, insulation, and metabolic support to neurons. They ensure the neurons work well and live long. Think of glial cells as the silent custodians of your nervous system. They maintain their health and function behind the scenes.

Neurons and glial cells form the complex nervous tissue in your body. They orchestrate the interplay of processes that support your senses, movement, and thinking.
