The characteristics of the nervous tissue are as follows: 

1. The nervous tissue is made up of nerve cells (neurons) and neuroglia. 

2. Intracellular matrix is absent in the neural tissue. 

3. The neurons are the structural and functional units of the nervous system. 

a. They are impulse generating and impulse conducting units which bring about quick communication within the body. 

b. Excitability is the change in action potential of the neuronal membrane on receiving external stimulus. 

c. Conductivity helps the neurons to carry a wave of impulse from the dendron to the axon (processes of neuron).
