Nerve Tissue
Al-Maarefa College
Nerve Tissue
• Cells have very high ability to – Respond to stimuli– Transmit impulses
Nerve Tissue
Nerve Tissue
• NEURON is the main nerve cell)
Nerve Tissue
• NEURON is the main nerve cell– Cell Body(3)– Dendrites (5)– Axon(1)
Motor Neurone
Motor Neurone
• Cell body• Dendrites• Axon– Covered by Myelin
sheath
Neuron
• Multipolar

Nerve and Reflex Arc
Nerve Fiber (Axon)• Nerve fibers are long nerve cell processes (axon
cylinder, axon) with a surrounding membrane• Schwann cells (neurolemmocytes, peripheral glial
cells) enfold the axon and form an insulating cover known as Schwann’s sheath (neurolemma).

Nerve Fiber (Axon)• Myelinated nerve fiber, i.e., the axon is covered by a
myelin sheath, which is rich in lipids.• Every 0.8 to 1.0 mm, a node of Ranvier subdivides
the myelin sheath into segments or internodes.

Glial Cells• Glial cells (Neuroglia) or (Glia)• (Greek "glue”• Non-neuronal cells that:1- maintain homeostasis,2- form myelin, 3- provide support and protection for the brain's neurons• They occupy the entire space between neurons
and separate nerve cells from blood vessels
Glial Cells - Functions
1. Surround neurons and hold them in place2. Supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons3. Insulate one neuron from another4. Destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons
Glial Cells - Types
• Astrocytes (macroglia)• Oligodendrocytes• Microgliocytes
Astrocytes
Kuehnel, Color Atlas of Cytology, Histology, and Microscopic Anatomy
• Most abundant• Deal with homeostasis – relate to vessels
• are characteristic star-shaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. They perform many functions, including :
• 1- biochemical support of endothelial cells that form the blood–brain barrier,
• 2- provision of nutrients to the nervous tissue, • 3-maintenance of extracellular ion balance,• 4- and a role in the repair and scarring process of
the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries

Microglia
Microglia:
Microglia are the main resident immunological cells the CNS
• Oligodendrocytes:– Closely related to
neurons– Provide myelin
protection for CNS neurons
