Supporting Cells
Schwann Cells: a cell in the peripheral NS that is wrapped around a myelinated axon, providing one segment
of its myelin sheath.

Blood-Brain Barrier
Semipermeable barrier between the blood and the brain produced by the cells in the walls
of the brain’s capillaries.
o Area postrema: region of medulla where the blood-brain barrier is weak; poisons can be
detected there and can initiate vomiting.
