Neurons and Glial Cells
Neurons and glia coordinate actions and transmit signals in the CNS and PNS.
Neurons
Four major types of neurons transmit signals through the body via specialized structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses.
Glia
The seven types of glia have specific functions that play a role in supporting neuron function.
