    Nervous Tissue: Neuron Types

    Neurons, the fundamental units of the nervous system, can be classified based on both their structural and functional characteristics.
    Structurally, neurons are categorized into three main types: multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar (or pseudounipolar). Multipolar neurons, which are the most common type in the brain and spinal cord, as well as all motor neurons, possess multiple dendrites and a single axon.
    Bipolar neurons, on the other hand, have one primary dendrite and one axon. They are...

    Nervous Tissue: Glial Cells

    Glia, or neuroglia, are vital support cells that assist neurons in their functions. The term "glia" originates from the Greek word for "glue," reflecting their role in holding the nervous system together. These cells can be categorized into six types: four in the central nervous system (CNS) and two in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
    The CNS glial cell includes the astrocytes, the oligodendrocytes, the microglia, and the ependymal cells.
    Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that interact...
