What type of tissue has the properties of excitability and conductivity?

Fabrics

Textile

– a collection of cells and intercellular substance that have a common structure, function and origin.

Epithelial tissue

Functions

• Borderline (outer layer of skin, inner layer of respiratory tract, lungs, stomach, intestines).
• Secretion of substances (glands).

Features of the structure:

• The cells are tightly adjacent to each other, there is little intercellular substance.
• Cells divide very quickly, due to this, damage to the epithelium is quickly healed.

Connective tissue

Functions

• Nutritional (blood, adipose tissue)
• Supporting (bone, cartilage, connective tissue membrane of all organs).

Features of the structure:

there is a lot of intercellular substance.

Muscle

Functions:

excitability and contractility.

Nervous tissue

Functions:

excitability and conductivity.

The main cells of nervous tissue are neurons

– consist of a body and processes. There are two types of shoots:

• dendrites – short, branched, accept excitation;
• the axon is long, unbranched, and transmits excitation.

In addition to neurons, there are also satellite cells

(neuroglia), there are 10 times more of them than neurons, they perform a nutritional, supporting and protective function.

Axons may be coated with a white, fat-like substance called myelin, which speeds up the conduction of nerve impulses. The accumulation of such axons forms white matter

nervous system.
Satellite cells, neuronal cell bodies, and dendrites form the gray matter
.

Neurons: structure, types and types

Nervous tissue contains nerve cells and neuroglia (Fig. 1) . The tissue forms the brain and spinal cord, nerve fibers and nodes. The nervous system is responsible for the coordinated functioning of organs and organ systems and ensures the body’s connection with the environment.

Rice. 1. Horse retinal nerve cells

A neuron is a basic, highly specialized cell of nervous tissue. It receives, processes and transmits information. It consists of a body or soma, which contains the nucleus with the bulk of the cytoplasm, and processes. The diameter of the nerve cell body is 15–150 μm or 0.001 mm.

Types of neurons by number of processes (Fig. 2) :

• bipolar;
• unipolar;
• multipolar;
• pseudounipolar.

Rice. 2. Types of neurons

Neuronal cell bodies are concentrated mainly in the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord. Long processes stretch long distances from the place where the nerve cells with the nucleus are located. The length of the axon can reach 1 m or more.

Components of a motor (multipolar) neuron (Fig. 3) :

1. The body of a nerve cell with a centrally located nucleus.
2. Short branching processes called dendrites that carry information to the cell body.
3. A long cellular extension, an axon, that carries information from the neuron body.
4. Insulating myelin sheath of the axon from Schwann cells (part of neuroglia).
5. The nodes of Ranvier are narrow gaps separating Schwann cells.
6. Sensory endings are receptors.

Rice. 3. Structure of a neuron

Types of neurons depending on the function performed
