A collective term for support cells and associated extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix, usually secreted by the support cells themselves, is composed of an unstructured ground substance which fills the space between the support cells, and contains fibers with various properties. Functions include structural support and strength, protection, insulation, and storage. Consists of neurons and neuroglia (a specialized group of support cells). Function via the consumption of ATP.
