Question

Mention any two special properties of neural tissues.

Answer 1

Neural tissue makes up the nervous system. It is concerned with the responsiveness of the body. It is chiefly composed of neurons. Each neuron or nerve cell consists of a cell body or cyton with a prominent nucleus, hair-like extensions called dendrites, and a long axon.

The special properties of the cells of the nervous tissue are excit­ability and conductivity.

Excitability is the ability to initiate nerve impulses in response to stimuli.

Conductivity means the ability to transmit a nerve impulse.
