Nervous system


The nervous system is a highly specialized tissue network whose principal component are neurons. These cells are interconnected to each other in a complex arrange, and have the property of conducting, using electrochemical signals, a great variety of stimuli within the nervous tissue as well as from and towards most of the other tissues. Thus, neurons coordinate multiple functions in organisms.
The classification of the nervous system is mostly similar in humans as in other vertebrates.
