Central Nervous System (CNS)
composed of brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
composed of the nerves that connect that brain or spinal cord with the body's muscles, glands, and sense organs.
Neuron
basic cell type of both nervous systems
amitotic cell characteristics
do not divide. have very high metabolic rate.
Nuclei
clusters of cell bodies in the CNS
Glial Cells of CNS
-astrocytes-support cells, control extracellular environment of neurons
-microglia-"immune system" of the CNS
-spendymal cells-ciliated, involved w/ production of CSF & CSF movement
-oligodendrocytes-responsible for myelin.

Glial Cells of the PNS
-satellite cells & Schwann cells
-satellite cells surround neuron bodies located in the PNS
-Schwann cells surround & form myelin sheaths around the larger nerve fibers. These are vital to regeneration & proper nerve signal conduction.
