Glial cell.
The cells in the human nervous system that provide insulation and structure for neurons are called glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. These cells produce myelin, a fatty substance that wraps around the axons of neurons to insulate and support their function by speeding up the transmission of nerve impulses.
The branch of the life sciences which deals with the structure and function of the nervous system is called neuroscience.
The main function of glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, is to provide insulation to neurons through the formation of myelin sheaths. These myelin sheaths wrap around the axons of neurons, which helps to increase the speed and efficiency of electrical signal conduction along the neuron.
Epithelial tissue is distinguished by its primary function of lining and covering surfaces, such as the skin and organs. Connective tissue provides structure and support to the body, holding organs in place and connecting different tissues together. Muscular tissue is specialized for contraction and movement, while nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body for communication and control.
Nervous tissue is primarily responsible for coordinating and regulating body functions. This tissue includes neurons that transmit signals throughout the body to control various processes such as movement, sensation, and organ function. Additionally, neuroglia cells provide support and insulation for neurons.
A scientist who studies the brain is called a neuroscientist. Neuroscientists investigate the structure and function of the brain and nervous system to understand different aspects of brain function, such as memory, cognition, and behavior.

Neurons
neurons
The structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron cell.
Structure: Brain, spinal cord, nerves throughout the body Function: conveys sensory input to the brain where it is processed
Neuropsychology is the study of the brain's structure and function. Neurobiology or Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, which includes the brain.
Basically what it does is protect the brain structure.
They are long so they can stretch throughout the body.
Insulation of a nerve helps conduct the electric signal through it faster as the signal jumps from node to node along an axon and bypasses the insulation part (Schwann cells). So nerve insulation makes our nervous system more efficient.
Neurological means the study of the nervous system. The branch of mediance that deals with the structure and function of the nervous system and
