Neurons

carry electrical impulses; composed of cell body (soma) and branching dentrites that recieve messages; located throughout that nervous system (brain and spinal cord)

Glial cells

smaller cells that protect neurons; located throughout the nervous system (brain and spinal cord)

Skeletal muscle tissue

pulls on bones allowing movement, helps controll balance, and produces heat; located throughout the body on the skeleton by tendons

cardiac muscle tissue

involentarily pumps blood by contracting; found in the walls and chambers of the heart

smooth muscle tissue

transports substances; lines the walls of hollow organs and internal passageways throughout the body
