Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic structure of nervous tissue, which is primarily composed of two major cell types.

The first major cell type is neurons. Neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system responsible for receiving sensory input, processing information, and transmitting signals to other parts of the body.

The second major cell type is glial cells. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system.

Differentiate these cell types from other cell types mentioned, such as muscle cells and epithelial cells, which are not primarily found in nervous tissue.

Conclude by recognizing that neurons and glial cells are the two major cell types found in nervous tissue, essential for its function and maintenance.
