Neural tissue types — main components?
Neurons and neuroglia (glial cells).
Neurons — definition?
Electrically excitable cells that transfer info.
Neuron anatomy — key parts?
Soma, dendrites, axon, synaptic terminals.
Glial cells — role?
Support, nourish, and protect neurons.
Neuron classification — types?
Anaxonic, bipolar, pseudounipolar, multipolar.
Gray matter — composition?
Neuron cell bodies, unmyelinated fibers.
White matter — composition?
Myelinated axons for communication.
Myelination — process?
Forming myelin sheath around axons.
Synapse — location?
Neuron communication junction, neurotransmitter release.
Neuron classification — types?
Anaxonic, bipolar, pseudounipolar, multipolar.
