Nervous tissue is the fourth basic tissue type of the body and is organized into two basic systems: (1) the Central Nervous System (CNS) and (2) the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The peripheral system responds to stimuli and sends impulses to the central system (brain and spinal cord).

Part V: Nervous Tissue ... Astrocytes - Provide for the energy and other metabolic needs of neurons as well as giving nervous tissue structural support. When neurons of the brain or the spinal cord are injured and destroyed, they are replaced with scar tissue made up of astrocytes (a process called gliosis).
