Nerve tissue 

Nerve tissue is composed of interconnected neurons. Between the Blutkapillaren glial cells connect with other neurons and glial cells. Through these nerve cells is associated nerve tissue from other tissue types identifiable. Nerve tissue is mainly in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves to find, but also at the gut (→ Enteric Nervous System) and in the retina are net related nerve cells. 

In the living organism has the nerve tissue the color pink to white. In the gray matter outweigh nerve cells. The white matter consists of cable railways, the myelinhaltigen nerve fibers. In the white matter, networking is low.

Nerve tissue leads selectively excitement of receptors on the success of organs. The gray matter processed, the white heads.
