Let's use a little logic to determine the function of nervous tissue with respect to cell control.

Good Post.
Nervous tissue is composed of two generalised cell types : Neuroglia and Neurons. Where the neurons are specialised to initiate action potentials while the Neuroglia provides numerous supportive functions. Although nervous Tissue is the most complex of them all, it requires more Oxygen and Nutrients than any other body tissue where the neuron conducts fast messages to all parts of the body.
Would it not be a simple function?
Conductions are made every second ( less actually ), and parts of the body which are surrounded by tissue would automatically be put into action, similar to the Immune and Lymphatic Systems. It's obvious that there is a good system between blood cells, blood and Nervous Tissue if it gains the most Oxygen and Nutrients needed, so rather than say function it seems more like working in conjunction because the brain controls all after all.
