What are the Histological Features of Neural Tissue?
Neural tissue consists of tightly packed neurons and glial cells. Neurons exhibit unique histological features such as a large cell body (soma), dendrites, and axons. Nissl bodies, which are rough endoplasmic reticulum clusters, are prominent in the soma. Glial cells, depending on their type, show distinct histological characteristics. For instance, astrocytes have star-shaped morphology, while oligodendrocytes have fewer processes.
