The brain and spinal cord are the two components of the Central Nervous System, and the CNS is composed of mostly neurons, with oligodendrocytes to provide myelin sheaths, microglia as immune cells, and astrocytes for general support. Other cell types (ependymal cells, radial glia) also exist in isolated locations.
