Description: Neurons are branching cells cell processes
that might be quite long extend from the nucleus-
containing cell body. Also contributing to nervous tissue are
non irritable supporting cells.
Function: Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors
and to effectors (muscles and glands) which control their
activity.
Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves

, Hair on skin senses insects before they sting or bite; Hair on scalp protects
from physical trauma, heat loss, sunburn; eyelashes shield eyes; nose hairs
filter particles in the air
Homeostatic Imbalance and Disease.
Give this one a try later!
Most disease can be regarded as a result of the disturbance of
homeostasis, which is known as homeostatic imbalance. Any abnormal
condition is known as homeostatic imbalance.
Structure of the Generalized Cell
