There are four main types of tissues in the body: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. Muscular tissue is classified into three types - skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle - based on location and voluntary/involuntary control. Nervous tissue consists of neurons, which conduct nerve impulses, and neuroglial cells which nourish and support neurons. The main cell types of nervous tissue are neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells.
