Nervous System
NEURON cells
association neurons
The cells of the nervous system are called neurons, which convert a stimulus into electrochemical signals.
microglia
neuron
The "main cell" of the nervous system is the NEURON, known as the "nerve cell".
No--a schwann cell is a type of glial cell, a cell that functions to help and support neurons in a nervous system.
Supporting cells are not a type of neuron. They include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia, which provide support and protection to neurons in the nervous system. Neurons are the specialized cells that carry out the main function of information processing and transmission in the nervous system.
it is called the golgy body
For one, that it is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type.
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
