    There are three basic types of nerve cells: sensory neurons that receive stimuli, interneurons that process information within the central nervous system, and motor neurons that activate muscles and glands. Nerves consist of bundled neurons and contain either sensory neurons, motor neurons, or both. Neuroglial cells outnumber neurons 10 to 1 and include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells, Schwann cells that form the myelin sheath around axons in the peripheral nervous system.

    CELLS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

    1. A neurone (nerve cell)


    ___________________________________________________________________________________
    2. There are three basic types of neurones.
    (a) Sensory neurones (afferent neurones)
    ___________________________________________________________________________________
    (b) Interneurones (association neurones).
    ___________________________________________________________________________________
    (c) Motor neurones (efferent neurones)
    ___________________________________________________________________________________
    3. A nerve consists of many neurones bound together by connective tissues.
    (a) Sensory nerves contain only sensory neurones.
    (b) Motor nerves contain only motor neurones.
    (c) Mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor neurones.
    4. Neuroglia _____________________________________________and _________________________.
    There are about 10 times as many neuroglial cells as neurones. The different types of neuroglial cells are
    _______________, _____________________, _________________, ________________, ____________
    and Schwann cells which form ________________________of axons in the peripheral nervous system.
