Consists of neurons and neuroglia (a specialized group of support cells). Specialized tissue with both contractile and conducting properties. It is made up of fibers, also known as myocytes or myofibers, derived from myocyte progenitor cells. A collective term for support cells and associated extracellular matrix.

Function via the consumption of ATP. Overlies many body surfaces. It forms a cover as the outer layer of organs, such as the skin, and a lining as the inner layer of the wall of a hollow organ or tract, such as the gastrointestinal tract. Functions include structural support and strength, protection, insulation, and storage. includes a process in which a trigger releases a neurotransmitter into a synapse.
