cable-like bundle of nerve fibers
nerves
transmit information along the axons
nerves
a low protein liquid
endoneurial fluid
protective sheath covering nerve fascicles
perineurium
glycoprotein-polysaccharide covering
glycocalyx
a layer of connective tissue that surrounds axons
endoneurium
small bundle of nerve fibers
fascicles
outermost layer of dense
epineurium
conduct sensory information
sensory nerves
conducts signals from the cns
motor nerves
supports and protect the neurons
neuroglia
prevents neurons from touching each other
neuroglia
form myelin sheaths in CNS
oligodendrocytes
lines internal cavities of the brain
