Document Summary
Chapter 2: structure and function of cells of ns. Know the cells of the central and peripheral nervous system. Three types of neurons that relay information between cns and pns: sensory neuron( afferent): a neuron that detects changes in the external or internal environment and sends information about these changes to the central nervous system. Motor neuron (efferent): a neuron located within the central nervous system that controls the contraction of a muscle or the secretion of a gland. interneuron a neuron located entirely within the central nervous system: ex. In this example, the person sees the glass of water and sensory neurons relay the sensory information toward the central: nervous system. The motor neurons from the central nervous system allows the person to lift the glass to take a drink: sensory neuron-> interneuron->motor neuron, cns: glial cells (supporting cells), not schwann cells. Oligodendrocytes: form myelin in cns/ 1 oligo can form myelin on several different.
