What are some characteristics of nervous tissue?

Nervous tissue is made up of neurons and supportive cells. Throughout the human body the neurons carry electrical and chemical signals, while nutrition is provided by the supportive cells. 

Atp is is our little "pocket" of energy. of course, if you have too little, then it means you have too little energy, and you'll pass out. the way to not have enough, is to have no energy sources (glucose, fats, proteins). you can't have too many atp molecules. cycles like the krebs cycle produce it, but if you have too much of any substrate (or too little for that matter), the cycle stops and atp is no longer made (it stops until substrate levels are such that the process can go on). in any case, this is unlikely since atp is constantly hydrolyzed and remade, even while you're asleep. you won't have too much. if you have zero, you are dead or dying.

It is called the medulla oblongata or people usually call it medulla. it is the lower half of the brain stem continuous with the spinal cord.
