    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.
