Nervous tissue is made up of an organised\xa0network of nerve cells or neurons; it\xa0is specialised for conducting\xa0information via electrical impulses from one part of the body to another.\xa0All\xa0information from the environment is\xa0detected by the specialised tips called dendrites of nerve cells. The\xa0receptors are usually\xa0located in our sense organs.\xa0This information\xa0sets off a chemical reaction\xa0that creates an electrical impulse. This\xa0impulse travels from the dendrite to the\xa0cell body, and then along the axon to its\xa0end. At the end of the axon, the electrical\xa0impulse releases some\xa0chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemicals cross the\xa0gap, or synapse, and start a similar\xa0electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next\xa0neuron.
