are the cells in the nervous system that interconnect information processes
These are the smallest glial cells and have slender cytoplasmic processes with many fine branches. Microglia are phagocytic cells that engulf cellular debris, waste products and pathogens. They make up only 5 percent of glial cells but increase dramatically during injury or infection. The sensory nervous system (SNS) is the second arm of the nervous system responsible for collecting information and sending it to the CNS. The SNS informs the CNS about what is going on within the body. Myelination consists of multiple layers of the cell membrane of either oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells (neurolemmocytes) wrapped around the axons of neurons. The cell membrane wrapping is called myelin. A number of glial cells are necessary to form the myelination along the length of an axon. Unipolar dendrites are used to detect sensory stimuli such as touch or temperature. The morphology of dendrites such as branch density and grouping patterns are highly correlated to the function of the neuron. Malformation of dendrites is also tightly correlated to impaired nervous system function. 1 The arc is the pathway through which the impulse or signal is conducted in the spinal cord. 2  The path starts with a receptor at the end of a sensory (afferent) nerve. 3  The fibers may associate with several interneurons within the CNS, and others nerve fibers from the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the CNS). Long outgrowths on immune system dendritic cells are also called dendrites. These are not to be confused with dendrites on a neuron. Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells in the mammalian immune system. Their dendrites do not process electrical signals. Dendrites are one of two types of protoplasmic protrusions that extrude from the cell body of a neuron, the other type being an axon. Axons can be distinguished from dendrites by several features including shape, length, and function. The functions of astrocytes include: a. Maintain the blood-brain barrier Chemicals in the blood would disrupt neuron function. Astrocytes form a cytoplasmic boundary around capillaries that maintain the highly restrictive permeability characteristics of the endothelial cells of the capillaries in the CNS. Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον dendron, déndron) (tree also) dendron are the branched projections of a neuron that act to propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell, body or, soma of the neuron from which the dendrites. project The motor nervous system receives processed information from the CNS and sends the signals through efferent motor fibers (nerves). The motor fibers send the signal to voluntary skeletal muscles. In contrast, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the glands and the smooth involuntary muscles. 2. Neuroglia These cells, glial cells, serve various supportive roles for neurons. These cells comprise about half the volume of nervous tissue but there are about 5 times as many neuroglia as neurons.
