Neurons and Glia
... In this chapter,we focus on the structure of the different types of cells in the nervous system:neurlns and glia. Theseare broad categories,within which are many types of cells that differ basedon their structure, chemistry, and function. Nonetheless,the distinction between neurons and glia is impor ...
