Study Notes

Central Nervous System (CNS)

  • The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Neuroglia

  • Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, provide support, protection, and maintenance functions for neurons.

Gray Matter

  • Gray matter is composed of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses.

White Matter

  • White matter appears white due to the high concentration of myelin, a fatty insulating substance that surrounds axons.

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

  • The PNS consists of nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body, including sensory receptors, motor neurons, and interneurons.
