Non-conducting cells that make up a majority of the brain and spinal cord
Neuroglia or glial cells
Multiple neurons together

Nerve
Nerves that contain both sensory and motor information
Mixed nerves
Nerves that carry sensory information to the brain and spinal cord; goes out of the posterior region of the spinal cord
Sensory (afferent) nerves
Nerves that control the effectors (muscles, glands, internal organs); leaves the PNS and goes out of the anterior region of the spinal cord
Motor (efferent) nerve
Neuron found in general sensory areas
Unipolar neuron
Creates the myelin sheath
Schwann Cell
Neurons that make connections between different neurons in the brain and spinal cord
Association neuron or interneuron
Surrounds the entire nerve
Epineurium
Surrounds the fascicles
Perineurium
Surrounds each neuron
Endoneurium
