Nervous or the nerve tissue is the major tissue of our nervous system. It monitors and regulates the functions of the body. Nervous tissue consists of two cells: nerve cells or neurons and glial cells, which helps transfer nerve impulses and also gives nutrition to neurons.

The picture shows long, thread-like structures that represent axons bundled together, often surrounded by a myelin sheath that enhances signal conduction. These fibers appear as parallel lines under the microscope, reflecting their role in efficiently transmitting nerve impulses.
Nerve fibers, also called axons, are the long, slender components of the neurons or nerve cells that function in conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body. They are covered in myelin sheath, as seen in the picture, to promote electrical transmission and protection. The regions with no myelin sheath are known as nodes of Ranvier.
The image presented shows the nerve fibers which are seen as straight thin threads which form a pattern similar to densely woven threads. Nerve fibers show both myelin sheaths outside which create their shiny or white look and clear areas without sheaths. The protective sheath operates to expedite the nerve signal transmission process. Small gaps called Nodes of Ranvier can be observed between specific sheaths because they play an important role in the signal jump process. The color of background tissue reveals itself either as a pale tone or shows slight stains that allow neural fibers to become visible. These nerve fibers maintain a well-organized structure designed for rapid and smooth message transfer all through the body.
Under the microscope, nerve fibers look incredibly beautiful, messy but still looks good, like tiny silver threads carefully woven into the fabric of our body. There's something almost artistic about how they branch and run together. Beyond their beauty, these fibers play a vital role: they carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body, letting us feel, move, and react to the world around us. It's amazing to think that something so delicate-looking is responsible for so much. wewwww <3
