The two types of cells in the CNS are neurons and glia. There are many types of glia, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, each with different functions. In general, glia support neuronal function.

Which neuron is located entirely within the cns?

Interneurons are neurons that are entirely located within the central nervous system (CNS). They act as a bridge between sensory and motor neurons, integrating and transmitting signals within the CNS.


Where are somatic motor neurons located?

in the CNS


What is the function of cells in the human body?

Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.


How do you create myelenated neurons?

You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.


What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?

Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.


Where are seventy percent of the neurons in the CNS located?

Cerebral cortex


What are 3 types of neurons?

Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS


What are neurons entirely within the cns?

Interneurons are neurons entirely within the central nervous system (CNS). They function to relay signals between sensory neurons and motor neurons, allowing for complex processing and integration of information within the CNS.


What tissue is connected and supported by glia cells?
