Question

multiple choice question what is the basic and functional cell in nervous tissue that is responsible for most of the tissue’s functions?
o neuron
o neuroglia
o macrophage
o fibroblast

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Neuron: Neurons are the basic functional cells of nervous tissue, responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, enabling most nervous tissue functions (like sensory reception, motor control, information processing).
• Neuroglia: These are support cells for neurons, not the primary functional cells for most nervous tissue functions.
• Macrophage: A type of immune cell, not specific to nervous tissue's main functions.
• Fibroblast: Involved in connective tissue (like producing collagen), not nervous tissue.

Answer:

A. Neuron
