Sends impulses around the body, information needs to come in (senses) and be processed (what do you do with it), and then some response needs to be made (usually muscular) Are composed of dendrites (brings signals in), a nerve cell body, and axons (take signals out: muscle. Tissues contract and allow us to work (can only pull) Three types: skeletal (voluntary, striated): these are the muscles that are hooked to your skeletal system; they are the ones we have voluntary control over. Highly organized and have a striated appearance. Individual cells can be quite long, and multinucleate: smooth (involuntary): these are the muscles you have no conscious control over.
